I read here that concert attendees were not allowed to bring in plastic silverware to eat their picnic lunches. How could a plastic knife, fork or spoon possibly be used as a weapon?

That may have been true in Boston, it's not true in Washington DC last night. I was with my family on the National Mall near the Lincoln Memorial for the fireworks - we were able to bring in liquids, snacks, backpack and two bag chairs with very little searching/fuss from the security folks.

My only disappointment in our visit to DC was how much of the National Mall was temporarily fenced off (due to the 4th of July) making it difficult to visit some of the monuments and caused alot of extra walking in very hot and humid conditions.

Still, very glad we went. The fireworks last night were SPECTACULAR. People were all friendly, and we enjoyed our visit (despite my feeling like I was in "enemy territory" the entire time.)

Wow, I have visited people in prison — and on “food days,” we even get to bring in plastic silverware. Not so under martial law Boston.
