Or do what was done a few years ago when the G8 (or maybe it's long enough ago that it was still G7) summit was held in Italy: Charter a crusise ship and hold the conference offshore. Of course, a NATO summit may have more attendees than a G8.The thing that astonishes me about this little exercise in security theatre is that it's not limited to the Metra Electric and NICTD lines, which, at least, do run directly under McCormick Place, and might conceivably be used for bomb delivery. No, TSA has imposed, and Metra has acceded to, restrictions on all the commuter rail lines, none of the rest of which come anywhere near the security perimiter. Alan Follett Hercules, CA |
