Super Bowl security unaffected by government shutdown

Despite the U.S. government’s partial shutdown, you can rest assured that the Super Bowl will not be affected … even if the impasse drags on into February.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ the FBI has met with local and state officials in Atlanta on Tuesday to finalize their security for the Big Game when it comes to Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Even though the Atlanta PD is in charge of keeping the players and patrons out of harm’s way, they run their plans past the federal agency and the Department of Homeland Security.
FBI Specialist Kevin Rowson told TMZ, “Our plans for the Super Bowl security have not changed despite the shutdown.” DHS Press Secretary Tyler Q. Houlton also released a similar statement.
