commuter-rail station and a subway stop, both of which will be closed.

Worse, the city's major north-south thoroughfare, I-93, runs underground
right next to the Fleet Center — and the Secret Service demands it be shut
down for hours each day, including the entire afternoon commute, and not
just in the affected area, but for miles in either direction. Bridges and
tunnels will also be blocked."

whoever is in charge, you'll have those restrictions.
well, either you are very happy with them or it's time to kick some
people's ass. You know, _we_ the people ....



Trouble is -- we'd run out of kicking feet before we run out of asses to
kick!

Ummmm .... I think you mean "square miles."

3291 miles square would cover approximately all of the US and Canada.

Folks -- time to remember....whoever is living in the white house does
not dictate security measures. It's the USSS (US Secret Service).
And it's unlikely that any president is ever going to override them
for anything. If the massive hose-up for Boston is not grounds for being
overridden, then nothing is. Security issues and management have been
getting more and more strict the past 30 years. It's just more
visible now.

Er.
That is _exactly_ what he is saying. The title of this thread, is '3291
statute miles square', which would be 10830681 square miles. As he says,
this would cover the whole of the US and Canade, plus a bit over. He was
simply pointing out that the thread should really be entitled either 'about
58 miles square', or '3291 square miles', rather than the current title...

Best Wishes

Cute, isn't it, when people try to play word games and then don't use them
properly.
