Super Bowl Security to Include Low-Flying Planes, Bomb-Sniffing Dogs, SWAT Officers, Police Robots
Low-flying government planes, bomb-sniffing dogs, magnetometers, high-tech mobile command centers, SWAT officers, police horses or robots will all be a part of the massive annual security effort that comes with hosting the Super Bowl, which has long been considered a potential terrorist target.
League officials say that every year is unique and that plans change based in part on advances in technology. "We do have experience putting on large-scale events … we've been planning specifically for this Super Bowl for the last three years,” said NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy. "So we've engaged multiple agencies on the federal, state and local level to come up with a plan that continues to evolve.”
