Be ready for metal detectors, personal body searches and the highest security in inauguration history
WASHINGTON - The nation's 55th presidential inauguration, the first to be held since 9/11, will take place this month under perhaps the heaviest security of any in U.S. history.
Dozens of federal and local law enforcement agencies and military commands are planning what they describe as the heaviest possible security. Virtually everyone who gets within eyesight of the president either during the Jan. 20 inauguration ceremony at the U.S. Capitol or the inaugural parade down Pennsylvania Avenue later in the day will first go through a metal detector or receive a body pat-down.
Thousands of police officers and military personnel are being brought to Washington from around the country for the four-day event. Sharpshooters will be deployed on roofs, while bomb-sniffing dogs will work the streets. Electronic sensors will be used to detect chemical or biological weapons.
Anti-abortion protesters have been warned to leave their crosses at home. Parade performers will have security escorts to the bathroom, and they've been ordered not to look directly at President Bush or make any sudden movements while passing the reviewing stand.

1. Notice the rather pointless inclusion of "First to be held since 9/11"
Did they need to add in some extra words in order to meet the article's minimum 500 word length? :eyes: For one thing, we all know when 9/11 happened...

6. Great Way To Make A Statement, Though.... by...

doing it this way... think of this... the scene unfolds:

"Excuse me, Sir, can you please remove that button?"

You take the button off your jacket. Underneath the Kerry button is a slightly bigger iron-on logo saying KERRY.
"I'm sorry Sir, but you cannot wear that jacket inside!"
You remove the jacket and on your vest is the same iron-on "KERRY!" which is even *larger*!!
"Sir, please! I have to ask you..."
You remove the vest and there it is, on your shirt, larger still "KERRY!"
"Sir this has gone far enough! Take that shirt off!"
You do to reveal the huge tattoo on your chest!!

Which reads..."F*CK BUSH!!!"

I think EVERYONE ought to do this!!

7. They can't make up their mind whether it's the heaviest security or not
"... will take place this month under perhaps the heaviest security of any in U.S. history. Dozens of federal and local law enforcement agencies and military commands are planning what they describe as the heaviest possible security."

We all know it's the heaviest abuse of our security forces in American history. WTF is wrong with these people who write this tripe?

9. Give Caesar his dues
Do NOT look directly at our first American Caesar! Emperor Dubya views mere mortals as toys to be played with on a whim. Live or die, it is at our beloved Caesar's feet that we grovel for scraps of the corporate pie.

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER CAESAR!
