Make sure you go to the 911memorial website for passes to the memorial, if you don't get them you are not getting in

No prob. Few people know that passes are required.

Also (as I learned the hard way) there is airport quality screening just prior to the actual entrance. They took my benchmade folder from me when they spotted it on the scanner. They measured the blade, and since it was"legal" gave me a voucher to pick it up in the visitor center at the exit to the memorial. Gave the guard the voucher, and then they delivered it from the main entrance. Took almost 15 min. to get it back when we wanted to leave.

The passes can be reserved here: http://www.911memorial.org/

They can be printed at home. They will be checked on at least 4 different occasions. Entering the line, then when having the bar code scanned at the screening station, having it punched when leaving screening, then again checking for the punch when passing the last checkpoint.

Take special note of how many NYPD and 911 memorial security cameras are put up along the line, and within the memorial. My kids made a game of counting, and finally stopped at 200. Don't pick your nose or scratch your ass if you don't want it on video.

The memorial is somber yet uplifting. I have a bunch of pics that I need to upload for a thread. Also, stopped by OWS and took a bunch of pics too. Got them Sunday night just before they cleared the tents out of the park.

By all means spend your money and tax dollars in a city and area that supports the safe act and will lock you up for clip knife on your pocket.
