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.
"It's going to be very different from past inaugurals," said Contricia Sellers-Ford, spokeswoman for the U.S. Capitol Police, which is responsible for the Capitol and grounds. "A lot of the security differences will not be detected by the public - there will be a lot of behind the scenes implementation - but the public will definitely see more of a police presence."

Good lord, nobody can even look at the douche? Even his fans? Hahahahaha

[LiberalEsto]

4. My God! What if someone accidentally farts?

Will they be shot by the Secret Service?

[Ignis]

17. Luckily

The SS will be equiped with the new Pass-O-Gas device, which will allow them to instantly detect unauthorized flatulence within 100 metres of the Chimp. Flatulators without proper (R) authorization will, of course, be shot on sight. So it goes.

5. If you look a chimp in the eye, he'll think it's a challenge and CHARGE!

[GRLMGC]

6. That's right nt

[htuttle]

7. He'd either charge, or start throwing his feces at you

[ret5hd]

8. maybe somethings wrong with his eyes...

stroke or something

[E_Smith]

9. what about turning your back on bush? nt

[LaPera]

11. Will they shoot them on the spot, if some looks at the little insecure

fascist dictator?

[beam me up scottie]

13. Why don't they just rent the pope-mobile? n/t

[aden_nak]

[kskiska]

15. I wonder if they've got a double for him yet

…if they could find one.

[ladjf]

16. "they've been ordered not to look directly at President Bush"

What would be the logic behind that order? Maybe it's fiction.

20. Perhaps it's not the REAL *

It could be a robot, a stuffed dummy, Cheney in a mask, an alien with morphed features, a demon...

the possibilities are endless

[txaslftist]

21. The "evil eye"...

Bush doesn't want any bad mojo, because Nancy Reagan read his horoscope, see, and Nostradamus predicted and Revelations says that "the son of man will come with fire...", see and Bush has a father who was also a president and that means he's the son of a man and the rupture is coming and he has to be prepared and its the six hundred and sixty sixth day since he lanced a boil on his bottom, see, and that felt like fire and so the tribulation is coming and if you look him in the eye you can see into his soul and you might then be ruptured with him and then when he stands at the side of the heavenly throne and the other son of man turns it over to him and he gets to rule the heavens and earth eternally you might come along and that wouldn't ....

Oh forget it. You wouldn't understand.

[Ignis]

18. Screw the backpack "Bulge" of yesteryear!

I say we keep a close eye on the Chimp's trousers for sign of the "Bulge" from a disposable diaper. That way he's sure to be able to keep up appearances if any unauthorized persons dare to stare him down.

Oh, the Pathos!

23. Truly.

And yet some people vote for the Chimp because he's "strong" and "resolute" and represents "Christian" values.

Lunacy, is it not? How could any intelligent person be suckered by the dog-and-pony show that is necessary to paint a flattering picture of the Chimp?

24. Good thing * never went to Hawai'i

Used to be, if a commoner was on the path the same time as the King, the penalty was instant death.

Unless you could outrun the guards and climb the wall into the holy sanctuary. Once in there, you were "cleansed" of your transgressions.

Or, it could be like "The King And I". "No one shall have their head higher than the king!"
