The White House

Earlier that day, Bush signed what he called the “Healthy Forests Bill”, which authorizes commercial logging of the national forests.

It looks like they got started on the front lawn of the White House that very afternoon. =)

I got through with a loud Santa tie on… so no, there were no sartorial checks. As for security, the metal detectors were not as sensitive as those in the airport. They let me keep my gadgets (camera and RIM). I did not see a sign “do not walk on grass” but then a colleague pointed out the snipers on the roof, and said that the message was implied.
