“After the show, fans sang Coldplay and Oasis songs en masse as they slowly clamored toward the tram. Hours earlier, some had been chanting, “Manchester na, na, na.” It was a scene of jubilation, not fear.
And it felt incredibly safe. As I made my own way to the tram, I wrote in my Apple Notes app, “Helicopter hovering overhead,” which to me signified that the fans were being watched over. Then two policemen stopped me and asked me who I was with and whether I’d written anything about a helicopter into my phone, without explaining the technology of how they’d read my Notes app. After a friendly back-and-forth, they looked through my bag, checked my ID and business card and determined I wasn’t a threat. “You have to understand, tensions are running high,” one of the men said with a smile and a handshake, allowing me through the gate. Manchester was secure tonight.”

Each day when I look around, I seem to find more and more reasons to be glad I do not have one of these “electronic ball and chains” in my pocket.If needed, I am never very hard to find and if I need help, I still know how to get it.
