Tom, that won't be as easy as you think. There are major security procedures in effect everywhere.

Everywhere? I don't think so. It would have been no trouble wheeing a van up to the fireworks display I saw last nite. That would have nabbed a few thousand people.

My pal is a fireman in an outer suburb of Mpls and he told me that every cop and fireman is on duty tonight. It comporises the normal firefighting personnel who always supervise the fireworks show AND off duty guys are working security to support the cops. One of the things they ARE doing is closely monitoring the movement of vehicles away from normal parking areas. They have it covered, no trucks get past a perimeter. It's a security priority, at least up here.
