Protests turn violent in key Egyptian cities again on Friday, as thousands take to the streets to demand the end of Morsi’s government. Police brutally dispersed petrol bomb-throwing protesters in Cairo, arresting and injuring dozens.

­At least 48 people were injured during clashes in Cairo on Friday, Al Arabiya reported.

Dozens of people have reportedly been arrested. Some of the arrests turned ugly with at least one case of police beating and stripping a protester, and dragging him naked into a police van “like a piece of meat,” Cairo-based journalist Bel Trew reported in her twitter.

Protesters threw Molotov cocktails and launced fireworks over the gates of the presidential building, Cairo-based journalist Bel Trew told RT. The angry crowds were pushed back by the teargas-firing security forces on armored vehicles, she added.

Fans can expect to be watched, sniffed and pawed as they enter the Superdome.

“Fans can expect to pass through metal detectors and a pat-down search. After the pat-down search, fans will be asked to unzip any coats. All bags will be x-rayed,” Miller said.

Gamma ray scanners can see through six inches of steal, monitored from a command center.

“TSA of course is working on making sure the airspace around the stadium is closed during the game. Also working providing K-9 teams and screeners and all the rest, said Janet Napolitano, Homeland Security Secretary.
