Mr.
Schiff: There were nearly two million people at the
January 20th inauguration of President Obama. As you know,
security was huge. One of the leaders, Joseph Persichini,
the Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI's Washington
Field Office, says personnel were teamed up…
Mr. Persichini: "They're looking at individuals
getting on subways; buses. We also have our technical
teams: bomb technicians, the Hostage Rescue Team will
be stationed in a facility; we have Air-Ops in different
facilities."
Mr.
Schiff: Persichini
says the Command and Technical Operations Center at the
field office in Washington was jammed with about a hundred
people…
Mr.
Persichini: "Whether it's intelligence or intake
or communications; transportation. So each one of the
components of the command post are functional."
Mr.
Schiff: No
major incidents reported and after four days of work,
it was time to rest for the 30,000 law enforcement personnel
working the inauguration. I'm Neal Schiff of the Bureau
and that's what's happening at the "FBI, This Week."
