replies: text: Super Bowl XL was a NSSE http://www.fema.gov/emergency/reports/2006/nat020606.shtm There is no equivalent statement for Super Bowl XLI from FEMA, including here http://www.fema.gov/emergency/reports/2007/nat020507.shtm Maybe someone just forgot to include it. But the State Department has a fuller list here http://fpc.state.gov/documents/organization/95048.pdf It is more complete than the current entry's list and some of the dates differ. It is my belief that 9/11 was also designated a NSSE, but of course you would never get a straight answer as to whether that was before or after planes started hitting buildings. I expect Congress has been told either way but in closed session. BTW The recent coincidental cutting of internet cables from the Middle East is an eery parallel with the shutting down of Middle Eastern-oriented websites just prior to 9/11. Good thing the Super Bowl is a NSSE, or maybe not. LimitedNews (talk) 11:30, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Super Bowl XLI

message: The first section of the article seems to argue against many "uninformed" points of view on NSSEs. It would be better if such POVs were not attacked, but listed as concerns.
: I agree.  Apparently this edit added a pretty much all of the ridiculous POV.  A (cited) section on concerns and common misunderstandings would be great, but when it's the entire entry and it's phrased like "Dear reader, you are wrong", it's bad.  I'm reverting the top section to the pre-that-edit state. -- Plutor 14:28, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I must add that I think I understand your reasoning for moving the article.  National Special Security Event is a proper name for a policy and therefore all words must be capitalized.  --Gerald Farinas 19:14, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: Someone added that American Idol is an automatic NSSE?  I need source citation on that or else it needs to be deleted. Gerald Farinas
It has been a while since I looked at this page.  In my view, the NSSE entry is now fairly vapid and inaccurate in important respects. For example, the current entry states that once DHS declares an NSSE, the DHS assumes "federal control of security measures normally employed by local law enforcement."  That interpretation directly contradicts the nuanced information in the "DHS National Special Security Event Fact Sheet" cited at the end of the entry.  The current NSSE entry also says "It [NSSE designation] also releases federal funding for security plans."  In my expereince, that is not the case.  I would welcome the chance to learn when it was the case.  There are what i consider to be at least two other equally significant errors.  I am interested in discussing the changes made on March 12, 2006 with whoever made them.  I have some experience with the internal dynamics of NSSE designation and implementation.  But i can also learn from the experiences of others. Bellavita 01:38, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The article says that "the first NSSE after the September 11, 2001 attacks was Super Bowl XXXVI [of 3 February 2002]" and then immediately goes on to say that United Nations General Assembly 56th session of November 10-16, 2001 and the State of the Union Address of January 29, 2002 as NSSEs. --71.178.77.170 (talk) 07:24, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
