One of the interesting things about this event is the level of security present. Each bus has a police officer riding with us. Each hotel has a police officer stationed outside (except for my hotel...I guess they are not worried about protecting a hotel that has ABC News and the FBI !)
On the bus ride over to the Xcel Energy Center we were stopped and checked by bomb sniffing dogs.
On the way back to the hotel after the convention session we passed a large number of National Guard members that were ready with riot gear for whatever the protesters had in mind.
The protesters have been kept a distance from us...which disapoints me. I wanted some interesting pictures of these lunatics and clueless people. I heard one of the TV crews went out and showed them a bunch of pictues to see if they could identify the person in them. I was not surprised when they did not know who Mitt Romney was or Cindy McCain...but Vice President Dick Cheney?? Sounds like they should stop protesting and get an education!
