It could give a sense of superior American organisation, or be an indicator of a deep-set persecution complex. It could also be a manifestation of Uncle Sam’s penchant for a show of strength.
The matter pertains to US president Barack Obama’s planned visit to Mani Bhavan —the Gandhi museum — on November 6, soon after he reaches Mumbai. On Monday, US secret agents visited the museum to plan Obama’s security detail.
They were accompanied by officers of Mumbai Police and civic officials of the D ward (where Mani Bhavan is located). While inspecting the route and the buildings lining up the route to the museum, the Americans detected a skyscraper near Peddar road and also found the area to be highly populated.
Since it is difficult to monitor such a congested area, they came up with a quick solution which left the Indians accompanying them amazed: A bomb-proof over-ground tunnel — to be installed by US military engineers in just an hour.
The tunnel would be a kilometre long and measure 12ft by 12ft — enough to let Obama’s cavalcade pass through. The tunnel would be centrally air-conditioned, fitted with close-circuit television cameras, and will be heavily guarded at every point, including, of course, its entry and exit.
Anderson Cooper at the start of his show tonight said all this talk about 3,000 people, 34 war ships, 200 million dollars a day, all of it was nothing but a big lie.

Did Mr.Anderson offer an accurate figure, actual numbers?
Why can’t the WH just give some actual numbers then? I get it, those numbers are locked up with his school records and bc.
We are to just trust them— when the easiest way to shut everyone up—is just show the stuff, give accurate costs.
I’m about tired of these carnies running a game on us.
maybe it will collapse, just at the right time...oh darn all faw down.
Sniff sniff.
Ozone?

You left off the sarcasm tag, or you took a wrong turn at DU.
‘Bubble’ typically refers to a detailed police cordon around some big shot, with cops, checkpoints, snipers on buildings, spooks circulating in the crowd. This structure is called a ‘tunnel’ by any source I could search. A piece of capital goods rather than an organized task. If it’s true, I’ll verify it tomorrow.
I caught a definite whiff myself.
How you check the facts when they aren't straight?

That would be a truly great feat of engineering to build in one hour.
There are no solid walls and it is invisible except for the hi-tech support vans. It is an electronic shield ("Shields up"), using quantum effects at a macro scale. The only thing unusual you see are the antenna arrays on the vans. There is also a tractor beam that can be directed at a particular person or vehicle trying to enter the security perimeter. There is much more exotic stuff that hasn't been rolled out yet, such as the quantum teleportation function (instant transport out of the danger area).
