250 million americans, 75,000 super bowl fans = .0003%
not a very effective use of their resouerces.
superdude, my apologies, I should have been more clear.
I meant the brainwashing/eye scanning / conditioning part of it.
If they were able to pull of a "black sunday" and blow up a super bowl it would be even more disastrous than a 9/11....can't even think about that !

I disagree. Not only would more than 75,000 people perish, the country as a whole would be turned upside down. The superbowl has become just this side of an American holiday, and the eyes of a great portion of the WORLD are tuned in.The VAST majority of Americans tune in, and the psychological damage would be virtually insurmountable. Remember it's terror we're talking about, and the entire nation would be horrified, and terrified.
I would think that that would be a pretty wise use of resources.
God I hope not.
Perhaps the purpose of the exercises is to gather important field data for future analysis, paying close attention to highly effective methods of mass crowd control, or simply weighing out the pros/cons of new hi-tech security toys such as biometrics.

While I don't doubt that there is some technology that would allow this to happen. Heck most of us have seen pictures taken from satellites 100's of miles above the ground which show amazingly detailed results on the ground. I guess the biggest question I have is "What would the purpose be"?
