Inaguration Day - security

Security.
Security.Security.Security.

I believe that this day is what is known as "testing their metal". I pray they are up to the task.

Things we don't like to think about -
Nearly our entire Government is in one target zone. Supreme Court Justices, legislators and Executive branch.
With one successful attack our system of government would suddenly change ... at least temporarily.

Apparently, Senator Obama's choice for Defense Secretary, Robert Gates, will be sitting out the event at an "undisclosed military base outside the target zone".

Being sixth in the presidential line of succession, he was selected as "designated successor" during Obama's inauguration should we suffer a worst case scenario.

Robert Gates was also W. Bush's Defense Secretary and was director of the CIA under Bush Sr.
