Safety of inauguration.

Why not have the inauguration on a nuclear aircraft carrier. Security is already high and very easy to raise to higher level. Ingress and egress easily managed.

10. I am worried about Biden's plan to ride Amtrak to DC

Trains and train tracks can be awfully vulnerable. The Secret Service better make sure that every millimeter of track, bridges, tunnels, etc. is inspected and guarded. I wish Biden would change plans.

11. The inauguration

It is a formality. Broadcast it live from a safe place.

JMHO.
