#13  I'd say human shields, except few CongressCritters are human...

(it was really hard not to click on the "Munchkins" radio button)

#12   Its one of those law enforcement traps. Lure the perps in a room with them expecting to win something and arrest them.

So where is the *real* swearing in going to be? Just between you and me.

#11  It should, and it is unfortunate this has to be stated, but after The Cabinet Confirmation Agitation, necessary.

#10  If there is another security SNAFU, the American people will have accountability. It will be like the public hanging in the aftermath of Lincoln’s death, but this time it will be shift work and the actual sponsors will take the extra stiff bungee drop along with the patsies.

#8  Toxicology, V-Series Nerve Agents

Hope everybody has their pocket atropine dispenser.

#7  Bio or Chem load

"Binary nerve gas refers to chemical weapons where the toxic agent is not contained within the weapon but is produced by mixing two less toxic precursors."

Scenario 1:
Two guys(?) dressed in 3 piece suits enter the best ventilated common restroom, remove their vests and place them together to soak in the chlorinated toilet water. One fellow opens the janitor closet and dumps a gallon of cleaning solvent on the soaking vests. They then beat a hasty retreat.

Scenario 2:
Many fellows each enter a nearby bathroom, removes his(?) shoe inserts, first left then right, toilet, solvent, etc.

Scenario 3:
Unsexed OP, matching shoes, purse, etc.

Nightmares of a cluttered mind.

#6  Worst case scenario: a huge meteorite makes a direct strike on the Rotunda during the ceremony,
Not quite worst case: Meteorite is made of solid gold.

#5  "wretched hive of scum and villainy" comes to mind.

#4  Given the RINO's and LSD's that makeup Congress.

Is that even safe?

Plus, Defensive line.
Far as computerized DRONES go, a Ford 150 cargo Van with a 9H x 12L x 8W cargo area. Could easily and quickly launch 200 palm size drones with a Shotgun shell size EOD's, Bio or Chem load.

#2  Modernity - Authorities Preparing For “Worst Case Scenarios” Ahead of Trump Inauguration

What would "worst case scenario" look like? Dirty bomb, chemical, or bio-attack? Sniffing helicopters and drones should be out in full force soon.

#1  Security reasons. I wouldn't want to go anywhere near the Capital for this. I believe the term is "an abundance of caution."
