As if the NFL didn't make getting to the Super Bowl hard enough, now the TSA is involved
It's being billed as the first "mass transit" Super Bowl. "Mass hassle" is more like it.
You can't drive to the game. You can't walk to the game. If you miss your bus you're out of luck. And now, if you thought taking the train was the easiest path to Super Bowl XLVIII, guess again.
Super Bowl fans who take the train to the big game might confuse the rail station with an airport.
The Transportation Security Administration will be screening all bags for explosives at the Secaucus Junction Station in New Jersey before passengers are permitted on the one rail line serving MetLife Stadium.
TSA officers also will be using radiological detection devices.
NJ Transit estimates 12 to 15 thousand fans will pass through Secaucus Junction on game day. And one at a time they'll get felt-up by the TSA.
But if all this security kabuki makes you late for the game, you can always catch the kickoff on your mobile phone, right?
Uh, no. The NFL plans to block live streams of the game on the cellular networks serving East Rutherford. "Not enough bandwidth" is their lame-ass excuse.
I sure am glad I'll be watching the game from the comfort of my couch.
