I'm sure this year is costing the most. All the extra police/snipers/national guard/sand trucks, etc. Is it really worth the expense? I can't even imagine wanting to be there, not to mention a 5 degree temperature. How can anyone in that mass of people even hold their bladders? Last place in the U.S. I would want to be (next to Las Vegas). Seriously.......what kind of cost will this be? Seems like we require more and more and more.............
