What do you think? Did you get your wish?

I think I did - we need to wait a reasonable incubation period to make sure. The cynic in me kept looking at the crowd on the Mall and thinking "What a great target". But as was noted by many, in this country we usually accomplish major transfers of power bloodlessly, and that, at least, was accomplished.

On a non-bioterrorism related note, it will be interesting to keep an eye on influenza-like illness rates across the country the next week or so. Influenza hasn't hit for much of the country, but getting that many people together in close quarters is a good way to spread whatever bugs are circulating...
