Homeland security Department in New Orleans

[brettdale]

The New Orleans Homeland Security Director was saying that they would not put more than 20-30,000 into the Superdome. They would open other shelters. They are doing full searches for weapons, drugs, and other contraband.

1. It should be very interestnig when they count the 30,000th person and shut

the doors to the rest of the people standing out there......

4. that's what the machine guns are for

They'll likely chalk it up as a bit of ethnic cleansing.

2. What gives with that?

The Superdome Sugar Bowl attendence exceeded 79,000. Seems like they could get quite a few more in there.

3. That's sitting in those god awful wooden seats

For a shelter people need to be able to lay down. That leaves the halls and ramps and the floor of the arena. If the arena floods then that will only leave the halls and ramps.
