The security is going to be a tighter than a 12 years olds...... spandex pants?
--------------------------
An unprecedented level of security is planned for George W. Bush's inauguration on Jan. 20, including six thousand police officers, 2,500 military personnel, and dozens of federal security agencies on patrol.
Outgoing Homeland Security Chief Tom Ridge has promised an unprecedented level of security for George W Bush's inauguration on Jan. 20. He spoke to reporters yesterday at a news conference near the Capitol, where Bush will take the oath on the West Front.

Ridge went on the detail some of the security plans for the inauguration which include six thousand police officers, 2,500 military personnel, and dozens of federal security agencies on patrol. Mobile command vehicles will also be set up along with round-the-clock surveillance of key facilities and a record number of canine bomb teams. Blackhawk helicopters and fighters will patrol the skies, and the Coast Guard plans to step up security on the Potomac River. Ridge likened the resources to those used during the political conventions last year.
The Federal Aviation Administration announced a 23-mile radius no-fly zone around Reagan National, Dulles and Baltimore-Washington International airports.
Protest groups complain that the security arrangements are preventing them from mounting effective demonstrations. Even a pro-Bush group, freerepublic.com, yesterday criticized a Secret Service edict that prevented members from waving miniature American flags during the inaugural parade.
