State Law Enforcement Division has determined the York County Sheriff's Office should get more than $90,000 in federal Homeland Security grants to help protect Carowinds from an attack.

It's scary to think that we have to be concerned about this kinda crap. Welcome to life in the 21st century!

Considering the odds of an attack, I would have spent the taxpayer money elsewhere.

...but thats just my humble opinion....

I wonder if they consider Jarvis coming with his tripod as a terror attack. :lol:

I think they thought I might have been a terrorist. See here.

No one ever stopped me when I was taking photos or videos, during Winterfest I did it with security standing right in front of me. They didn't say anything to me. I have 213 photos of Carowinds on Carowinds Zone, ad more than likely another 300 that were never used, or deleted because I didn't think they were good enough.

I just wonder what they will buy for the park.

They already have metal detectors and guards, what else is there?

It's not like they're going to get anti-aircraft guns in case someone trys to crash a plane into Top Gun.

There was also a news clip on this which specifically stated that more patrols would be added on Carowinds Blvd. and the entrance road, along with more security cameras.

I really find all of this kind of silly though.

Disney or one of those huge parks I can see, but Carowinds!?!

Oh well, pretty soon we'll have to get our eyeballs scanned to get into the park.
