If this managed to get posted... Sorry again. I am slow on the news uptake.. *sigh*
What cant be brought to DC for Obama being ushered in
I read thru it, and while silly string, and possibly packpacks are going to be security risks... Chairs? Strollers? Possibly diaper bags?
Canes????
Umbrellas?!
I gotta quote this:
That's just a sample of the items forbidden from President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration for security reasons. *And while many people say the
inconvenience is a small price to pay* (emphasis mine) to witness the swearing-in of the nation's first black president, others are scratching their
heads, trying to figure out how they will sit, snack, carry diapers or transport tired tots.
Authorities say expect to go through some type of security screening. If you have an item prohibited for a certain area, they will confiscate it. When
asked if specific items such as canes, walkers, lighters, matches and diaper bags would be prohibited from the parade route and the Capitol,
authorities said they didn't know yet.
"A small price to pay". Seems like all any of us do any more is "pay small prices". Being "nickle and dime'd to death" politically just has to
stop...
