Anyone know why heliopters were circling overhead from 5:30-6pm this evening (Sunday)?

Hi All - Does anyone know why there were helicopters circling overhead this afternoon from 5:30 to 6pm? It was loud and only just went away.

It was likely all the security for the Steve Jobs memorial service at Stanford last night.

Can someone explain how having a helicopter hover over residential neighborhoods provided security, when I'm sure there were plenty of security staffers on the ground? Not that I would expect the beautiful people to care if they're disturbing the hoi polloi.

Dropping off some more FBI agents. That makes quite a few.
