If you know me you know that I don’t bite my tongue. I say things just as they are. I had a phone conversation today with a friend in intelligence. The conversation was about the upcoming inaugural event. When the call was finished I had come to a conclusion. I hope that the Secret Service is pushing the President elect to alter the inaugural ceremony. At this juncture holding an outdoor ceremony represents too great of a security risk.
I know that doing the ceremony indoors breaks with tradition however we have never been where we find ourselves now. An outdoor ceremony provides too many targets of opportunity. We aren’t dealing with logical reasonable people. Wednesday demonstrates that there are zealots out there prepared to do the unthinkable.
One of the hard truths of executive and VIP protection is that it is almost impossible to stop an assassin who is willing to trade a life to take a life. Even with heightened security a drone laden with explosives could be launched at the last minute.
Better to err on the side of safety than to take a risk that could result in the crippling of the Executive Branch. Don’t forget that Donald J. Trump as stated he won’t be there. Pay attention to signal intelligence.
