Tune in the scanners, grab some extra batteries. Beginning today and through sunday, there should be some pretty interesting monitoring to be had. These days are the ones that make scanning a rewarding hobby.

Today:
Gov. Arnold and Home Land Security big wigs will be flying the Sacramento Valley this morning/afternoon. They'll be doing low-level fly-bys of the levee system. I've heard that there will be helicopters roving the lands. I imagine they'll be in some Blackhawks.

Today, weather permitting, the Blue Angels will be flying again - "advertising" the air show this weekend. It's amazing how many people called 911 to report low level aircraft, noise complaints, and some citizens were literally scared, thinking that Sacramento was under attack. Honest. There's even a hotline number for "complaints" about the air show.

As I understand it, just a new name for all the agencies in these departments.
* Customs and Border Protection
* Immigration and Customs Enforcement
* Federal Protective Service
* Transportation Security Administration
* United States Coast Guard
* United States Secret Service
Much radio activity is still in the clear and not encrypted.

Back in the early 1960's a lady called in to LAPD to complain of the noisy fighter jets over her house.
The quick-witted dispatcher asked her "Are they American jets, or Russian jets?"
Caller: "Well, American, of course!"
Dispatcher: "Then you should thank yoour lucky stars!"
