About the same precautions that are taken during regular season games,unbeknownst to those who attend.They've become so good at it that they are completely non invasive at doing so.The London game has unprecedented security.
More wasted taxpayer money! This is an outrage, they NFL should have to reimburse the state for the use of the guardsmen.
While the whole country is watching the super bowl they will probably hit a big target like the sears tower or the golden gate bridge.
