Vigilance at tightest

By AP

Important components of security preparations for President Bush's Jan. 20 inauguration: - Enhanced security checkpoints at ceremony and along parade route. Each spectator to undergo a search, go through a metal detector, or both.

- More fencing and a wider buffer zone around parade route, with more streets closed.

- Use of bomb-sniffing dogs, chemical, biological and radiological sensors, and heightened aerial surveillance.

- About 40 agencies involved in security planning, led by Secret Service.

- Up to 4,000 military personnel available to assist or react to emergencies.

- Hundreds of specialized law enforcement personnel on standby, including FBI SWAT teams, evidence-recovery technicians, bomb experts and hazardous-materials workers.


Wouldn't it be nice if he worried about the troops fighting for oil as much as he worried about himself? Travesty after travesty, and still, the White House that taxpayers have paid millions of dollars to decorate will only be enjoyed by a few of the ruling elite.

People, if you don't think it's class warfare, you've got your head too far up your bible's ass.
