Unfortunately, given the number of wackos who’d love to assassinate him, and the number of terrorists who’d love to kill thousands of Americans in the most symbolic and spectacular way possible, it’s all very necessary.
But just in case, I think I’ll stay home and watch this historic event unfold on TV. Just kidding, I’m sure it’ll be safe. It’s the sheer number of people making pilgrimages to Washington for this occasion that scares me….
In fact, even though millions are expected, only 1600 people (mostly politicians and big donors) will have tickets for the swearing-in ceremony on the steps of the Capitol. And only those who were lucky enough to get one of the 5000 tickets sold in less than a minute yesterday will have access to preferred viewing areas along the parade route.
Everyone else will spend the entire day looking at the back of other people’s heads. But just being there, yeah, that’s the ticket!
