The extended perimeter was on Connecticut Avenue and around some other parts of the property.
They had people out there who would ask if you had a ticket and people would either flash their phone or flash a paper ticket and then they'd walk past that.
There was no checking of
Does this name and ID match with a ticket or anything like that?
But it was just at least sort of your incidental contact that there was an extended perimeter that had the protesters at bay on the other side of the street.
Were those uniformed police or just private security?
Uniformed personnel were there, but they seem to be more traffic control.
There were other people wearing
sort of a poncho to guard against the rain, sort of taking a look at things and waving it to go into the building.
The building itself wasn't really secured in any visible way.
You went into sort of the main entrance.
There's a lot of pregame gatherings that some of the big media companies were having and others.
You go to a bar, go to a room that they had rented.
You basically went straight from the street into those kinds of venues.
And it wasn't until you took an escalator ride down from the main lobby that
where you met with the familiar image of magnetometers and people checking the contents of your pockets and things like that.
But even that, I found to be less than what you would go through a TSA pre-check.
At least there, you empty everything and things get x-rayed.
This, you just sort of emptied your pockets and someone looked at it and said, yep, that's a phone, yep, those are keys, yep, that's your wallet and off you'd go if you didn't set the magnetometer off.
You know, it probably enough to deter most people most of the time, but it wasn't what I would consider to be heavy security.
