Tornado Alley (PROG)

then the bombers would work the least secured area... the route has crowds along much of it, eh? also, the "sweeps" are really tough when there are about 30,000 backpacks and duffel bags, etc. that are not always in possession of the runners.

Incidentally, the people guarding did more than "Just around the finish line".... there were bomb sniffing dogs and a secure perimeter established around the starting area also.

Notice the mysterious "black guy in a hoodie" that got turned away from the secure perimeter? that sort of suggests to me that there was a secure perimeter established, doesn't it?

Somehow it was breached after the final sweep, which was about an hour after the elite finishers.

" Commissioner Edward Davis of the Boston Police Department said two sweeps for bombs had been conducted in the area before the explosions, including one an hour before the attack. However, he said, people were allowed to “come and go and bring items in and out.”

Ass covering. Sounds like everyone could come and go unless you were a black person in a hoodie with a backpack. With a foreign accent. Who supposedly got turned away fom the finish area and conveniently became a person of interest. So the statement that "people were allowed to come and go and bring items in and out" certainly needs a bit more explanation from the Commish.
