Ich war heute Abend selbst beim #WHCD in Washington.

Was mich überrascht hat, waren die laschen Sicherheitsvorkehrungen. Trotz Menschenmengen von teils aggressiven Trump-Gegnern vor dem Hotel reichte es aus, im Vorbeigehen einen Screenshot der Einladung vorzuzeigen, um auf das Gelände und ins Gebäude zu gelangen. Ausweis? Nicht nötig.

Drinnen patrouillierten teils Secret-Service-Agenten mit Hunden, und vor dem Ballsaal gab es Metaldetektoren, aber nicht mal die Jacken mussten hier ausgezogen werden. Insgesamt total chaotisch.
