Unless the protesters have color-coded tickets, they won't get very close...
The ceremony starts at 11:30 a.m. with the official swearing-in set for noon Friday.
There are six different security screening gates corresponding with attendees color-coded tickets and they open at 6 a.m. on Inauguration Day. The screening areas are situated near Metro stations. Organizers are telling ticket holders to be prepared for long lines and crowds, and to dress for the weather.
No umbrellas and it is supposed to storm Friday.
Even better- thanks!
