DHS Announces ‘If You See Something, Say Something’ at Super Bowl

The Department of Homeland Security’s “If you see something, say something” program kicked off at Walmart, and now it’s expanding:

(CNSNews.com) – Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano traveled to Dallas earlier this week to personally inspect the massive security operation surrounding the 45th Super Bowl game and to announce the “If You See Something, Say Something” campaign.

“We are partnering this year with the NFL on our ‘If You See Something, Say Something’ campaign and launching that NFL partnership right here at the Super Bowl,” Napolitano said during a press conference on Monday at Cowboy Stadium in Arlington, Texas where Sunday’s game will be played.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the DHS are working in conjunction to remind Americans to be ever vigilant so they can help prevent the unthinkable: Rush Limbaugh owning an NFL franchise.

As for “If you see something, say something” at the Super Bowl, sure Janet, we’ll be sure to let you know if we spot anything out of the ordinary…

Side note: The Super Bowl picks from the US National Security team are as follows: Janet Napolitano is said to be favoring the Packers; Obama’s National Security Advisor John Brennan is reportedly rooting for the Steelers; and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper is picking the Baltimore Colts over the New York Jets, but only because he’s a big Johnny Unitas fan.

    Hey! I resemble that remark. I’m a big Johnny U fan as well. And remember something, NFL Films composer David Robidoux wrote a song called Unitas We Stand. There’s nothing about Broadway Joe.

    I see a scoreboard that says Steelers 31, Packers 17; Pass it on!

    That’s interesting. I see one that says Packers 31, Steelers 20. Of course, it could be a shootout like they had last year. And poetic justice would be Aaron Rogers throwing the winning touchdown pass as time expires.

    They tried that once — except everyone flagged themselves, so the socialists had to shut it down.

    Should there be heightened security at the Super Bowl? Yes. Should the crowd be aware of what is going on around them? Yes. But if we had competent people in these positions, it wouldn’t be so laughable when they spoke.

    But seriously…after JaNo gave her little speech, telling America that the DHS is partnered with the NFL, didn’t you feel warm all over? Or did you feel that there is now an air of impending doom?

    Maybe there will be a “man-caused disaster” (remember, DHS considers only anti-abortion, pro-gun veterans to be terrorists). Perhaps we will see a natural disaster, the likes that will force Nappy’s FEMA to write checks to people who live in Dallas…Georgia.

    But how will the DHS, NFL, or anyone ever be able to deal with the disaster of B.J. Raji’s celebratory dance?

    As someone who works the Tournament of Roses parade which attracts well over a million people, security has nothing to do with tourists snitching on each other. It’s about FBI, police and event personnel doing their jobs. If everyone is eyeballing everyone else, everyone looks suspicious.

    This is just another transparent ploy by Big Sis to scare everybody and keep government in our thoughts at all times. And are we going to get another pep talk from Big Brother during half-time? When did we turn into Venezuela?

    So you are sitting there with the several dozens of football fans who could manage through the snowdrifts and you see a Mohammed Atta type with a bomb strapped to him; what do you do? Report him to JNo? That my dear friends would be islamophobia, profiling and racist.
    You would be escorted from the stadium thus saving your life. Hey perhaps we are on to something?

    But guvmnt’s “If you see something, say something” sounds like a Cuban style Block Watchers or Stalin’s Report drop boxes. Call it the Major Nidal Malik Hasan Syndrome- tis better to have lots of dead Americans than lose our diversity–I heard that somewhere.

    I do believe drunken football fans could take care of a Mohammed Atta type long before JNo’s minions show up.

    That would be right next to the giant rabbit with lazer eyes you often see, who talks to you – tells you to do things…

    At certain rare points in history – time, space, matter and energy align in perfect harmony – the universe is at equalibrium and the Packers win the Superbowl. This is one such point.

    Packers – 420 (Conservatively assuming only 1 touchdown per minute)
    Stoolers – 1 (Grace point allowed for having the guts to show up)

    Seriously, I will place one (1) genuine, hand made Cuban cigar (Habanos S.A.) on the Pack by 4 points. Talk is cheap. Pony up!

    Not only laughable, but if we had competent people in charge, we would know the security would be much better such that we wouldn’t have to resort to stupid little slogans that have been ignored by officials when people DO say something as this crew does.

    If you see something, say something, because as you all know, we have had terrorist attacks right and left in this country over the past two years, and nothing has been done to lock down the border…even though we have caught muslims trying to be smuggled over that border.

    If you see something, say something, particularly about those returning veterans, Tea Party types, rednecks (c’mon, it’s Texas right?) and anyone that may be of a certain European lineage.

    She personally inspected the security herself, personally, yet has to resort to this? I think part of this whole story is to clearly indicate her as the scapegoat if something did happen…and people would be partially right.

    Agreed. Vegas has the Pack by 3, but only paying 1.2 on Steelers. It’s a crap shoot. I don’t gamble, but people who actually do put money on stuff usually have a good take.

    Once sat with my dad and brother on an icy metal bench watching Lombardi, Starr, Taylor, Hornung, Dale et al do their stuff. Froze my little behind and loved every minute.
