Inauguration Fenced In With Five Miles Of Steel Barricades
Five miles of six foot high chain link fencing, reinforced with concrete, surround the Lincoln Memorial and much of the National Mall for the inauguration. Officials say security has increased generally, with new parade checkpoints and restricted ticketed viewing areas. Protest groups plan legal challenges to the limits while tourists note the heavy barriers change the cityscape.
