Good move by the Pats. Get yourselves screened.

People think, "If I have a spot, I'll just get it removed and it'll be fine." That's provided you find it early enough.

I can't get over how quickly it kills, especially after going through it and PatsWickedPissah obviously knows as well - so don't take any chances. If you're going to the stadium stop and take a moment to get screened.
