Largest Security Operation in US History

The report is that the Secret Service is coordinating the largest security operation in the history of this country over the next few days. There will reportedly be more force in Washington, than there is in the whole country of Afghanistan.

While complete details are unknown understandably, what is know is that there will be more than 40,000 security people in place, made up of police not only from washington but from all around the country, 9500 active duty military troops, and 10000 national guardsmen. Plus the unknown number of plain clothes security on hand. The US military will fly air patrols, man surface-to-air weapons systems, ply the Potomac River with gunboats, assess chemical and biological threats, organise large-scale medical support in the event of an attack, and provide visible and undercover on-the-ground security.

In addition Obama will wear bullet-resistant clothing, speak behind a protective glass shield and ride in the parade in the armored Cadillac limousine, with doors and windows so thick that he probably would survive a bomb blast, law enforcement officials said.

Trailing his car will be black vans loaded with Special Weapons and Tactics and counter-assault teams, high-speed communications equipment and electronic devices capable of jamming the detonators for homemade bombs.

Nondescript boxes that can detect the airborne releases of chemical or biological weapons such as lethal anthrax spores will be scattered among the crowds.

 

Meh.

Who watches the Watchmen?

 

I think he's taking a train to DC, from somewhere up north, and they were talking about how multiple agencies, are working to secure the ENTIRE line.

 

Oh I thought you were gonna post about that super spying computer Obama has planned for spying on US citizens.

But yeah, I guess I can see why they need the security. It is a dangerous world for our new President.

 

Man!

Even the Pope doesn't have that kind of security!! Goes to show you how dangerous the atmosphere is. And i'm not just talking about the threat posed by white supremacists and the ilk, shit's a lot more complicated than that.

A lot more people will be gunning for him. The same bastards that killed Kennedy, their kind is who i'm talking about.
