Inaugural security v/o

Posted by live apt fire on January 23, 2009

Doug’s version:

The district of Columbia will enact an extensive security plan for the inauguration of Barack Obama.

The plan bans parked vehicles for 150 blocks surrounding the capitol.

Federal authorities will enforce a strict no-fly zone, and the Coast Guard will patrol three and a half miles of DC waterfront along the Potomac and Anacostia rivers.

25-thousand military and law enforcement personnel will be on hand to keep the peace before and after the ceremony.
