"Advance tickets are required to enter this public, outdoor memorial. To book them, you're obliged to provide your home address, email address, and phone number, and the full names of everyone in your party. It is "strongly recommended" that you print your tickets at home, which is where you must leave explosives, large bags, hand soap, glass bottles, rope and bubbles. Also, "personal wheeled vehicles" not limited to bicycles, skateboards, and scooters, and anything else deemed inappropriate. Anyone age 13 or older must carry photo ID, to be displayed "when required and/or requested." Once at the memorial you must go through a metal detector and your belongings must be X-rayed. Officers will inspect your ticket — that invulnerable document you nearly left on your printer — at least five times. One will draw a blue[or red] line on it; 40 yards (and around a dozen security cameras) later, another officer will shout at you if your ticket and its blue line are not visible. Eventually you'll reach the memorial itself, where there are more officers and no bathrooms. You're allowed to take photographs anywhere outside the security screening area — in theory if not always in practice." And yet without me knowing of any of these security measures in advance I still got in with two good-sized knives. :O/ Links: http://www.911memorial.org/security-screening http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/nypd_to_increase_security_for_wtc_XmiVZMMfJWv99I5BaAtVZM Katalyzt
