This was my first inauguration, I ended up becoming obsessed by the security guards on the balcony. They were spooky because they were dressed like SWAT team members instead of in normal police uniforms. It was cold and windy, and probably colder and more windy on the balcony, so they may have needed the special clothing to stay warm. However, I still think they were more intimidating than necessary.
