Gotta say Times Square isn’t as locked down as you think either. 2 years ago my son and I made it all the way into a pen with no one checking us. Now obviously we weren’t suspicious in any way, but that was also the year they were severely restricting attendance and requiring proof of vaccination. We did have our vaccination cards, but as we weren’t exactly supposed to be there no one checked. We were actually in line for the pens but they cut it off about 50 people ahead of us. We were locked out of the “frozen zone” so I quickly made a dinner reservation at a restaurant inside the zone. We went to the baracade and told them we had a dinner and they let us right through, none of the checks the people had to go through to get into pens. Remember there are multiple hotels in the frozen zone also, all those people are inside unchecked. Anyway we did plan to go to the restaurant, but wandered around first eventually making our way up to one of the front pens right by the ball. We stood outside it for 15 minutes shocked that no one came along and told us to move on. Eventually a cop came by and after chatting with her she actually opened the pen and let us in. I was so glad for our good fortune that night, but I’ll never again really consider that any situation like that is truly “safe” again, there are so many people no matter what they do some will sneak by…
