Armed military helicopters will patrol the Strip on New Year's Eve to protect the expected 350,000 revelers from a potential terrorist attack, officials said this morning.
"The intelligence over the last year and a half has made it clear that large open air gatherings could be targets, so I believe it is prudent and wise that we control that air space," Sheriff Bill Young said at a press conference this morning.
The Air National Guard and Marine helicopter gunships "are going to be very visible to the crowd," he said, adding that officials with Nellis Air Force Base will be on stand-by.

I have a question to all US citizens towards this security action. I myself would consider it very disturbing to have military helicopters hovering very visibly over my head. And this during my so-called holidays which I would take to relax and/or have fun.
It's unacceptable for my mind that military is beginning to join the daily life of the US citizens.

Unless you have credible information to back that up with i simply cant believe you, if those biological sensors were going off then there is a very precise noticeable plan that would be put into action.
Be warned, giving us false information is not advised.

Theres also 30% Chance of thermonuclear bombardment.
The plan is to basically get everyone away from each other in a calm and timed manner, people would be split into sections and moved into alternate directions, they would have to pass through decon to leave the area.
