8"x6"x4" (aka The Secret Service)

The title of this posting refers to the maximum size of the bag an inauguration attendee is allowed to bring with her or him.

Not much room, is it? For guys, this is not that much of a challenge, as we are used to a wallet only, but for women, this can be a dilemma. I almost expect to see thousands and thousands of those tiny bejeweled cocktail purses stuffed with cell phones, maps, cosmetics, water bottles, and sundry other necessities. Thankfully, winter coats and other garments come with pockets, a fine invention we intend to use fully. Between the two of us and the two friends who are coming with us, things should work out fine.

Please refer to the Secret Service webpage link below instructing us in verboten items and other important stuff. Notice the guys in the black suits and coats; a sense of humor is not in an agent's job description, and so keeping them happy is important.
