I just read about it that Police will be searching pocketbooks and deploying thousands of officers throughout Times Square. No drinking, no backpacks and plenty of supervision. Those hoping to brave the crowds to ring in the New Year in Midtown will have some strict rules to follow, police and organizers said. All backpacks, large bags and packages would be prohibited from Times Square and pocketbooks would be inspected, the NYPD said in a statement. What do you think about the security measures? Are these really good measures or just to irritate public?
