Fortress DC: Capitol locked down a week ahead of inauguration Print this article
Washington, D.C., has many of the looks of a war zone.
In an unprecedented move, the government and private sector have partnered to lock down the district ahead of next week s inauguration.
Normal security precautions for an inauguration entail blocking off streets near several locations a couple of days in advance. This year, neighborhoods near the White House, Capitol Hill, and in between the two famous buildings have transitioned into fenced-in city blocks where residents cannot drive out of apartment building garages or even walk outside without expecting to be questioned by police.
