Sports Illustrated has a somber piece about how fans look like potential victims of terrorism to Jim McGee, former FBI agent turned college instructor. The players are also potential targets and security gaps are easy to find.
Many believe it's only a matter of time before another domestic or international terrorist attack targets a sports event.
Bill Flynn, head of Homeland Security's protective security coordination division, said stadiums and arenas are "a concern, something that we want to pay attention to. Why? Because we've seen attacks overseas in resorts, hotels and arenas, so obviously while al-Qaida and the terrorists have attempted to hit hard targets like refineries, soft targets and commercial facilities become more of a target of opportunity."
There will be another terrorist attack, it's only a matter of where and when.
