Whose bright idea was it that disarming 17,000 people is the way to protect Obama from assassination?
Let's say it takes you only 5 seconds to verify that each person is disarmed, and it takes no time at all to move to the next person.
17000 people times 5 seconds is 85000 seconds.
Divided by 60 seconds per minute equals 1,417 minutes.
Divided by 60 minutes per hour equals just under 24 hours.
Do I have that right? When was this rally supposed to occur, anyway?
