The media and our government love using fear as a tool to continue their stupid spending in the military.
Answer this, when has a terrorist ever attacked a highly viewed event? The Super Bowl doesn't need to be covered. Period. End of story. Why? Because it's the highest rated show in the world? Who cares? Why is this deemed a "level 1"? Because a bunch of rich assholes and celebrities are attending? Meanwhile, the same attack can be done at any other venue I suggested.
Spending this type of money is beyond foolish, it's reckless. These people are just playing on the fears and ignorance of its people.
