These security measures are a massive overreaction to the storming of the Capitol building last week by Stop the Steal protesters. It would make sense to shut down areas of the city a day or two before the inauguration, but implementing a de facto police state a week out from the event only serves to massively inconvenience DC residents and businesses. It projects unnecessary fear to the rest of the country and the world.
