Across the length of five city blocks on the banks of the Potomac River, bomb-sniffing dogs pad through crowds with their handlers. Uniformed security scan for signs of trouble. And more than 2,300 surveillance cameras, mounted on high, swivel and zoom, capturing around the clock the movements of the world below.
The scene may suggest the posture of a protected government facility or a heavily guarded bank, but it is only a glimpse of the casino security operation at the MGM National Harbor.
