Sadly those fences are not that much worse than those put up by the NPS each Fourth of July. Herding everyone through a few checkpoints manned by bored Charles County, MD cops is security theater at its most absurd. One checkpoint didn't even have cops, it was manned by temporary workers in yellow t-shirts with hand-written name tag stickers on them. The entire Iranian Army could have marched through in uniform and in formation and I doubt anyone would have noticed.

Meanwhile, if you wanted to actually walk from say the Martin Luther King memorial to the DC WWI memorial, you couldn't. They might be within sight of each other, but in between them were several sets of fences.

What better way to celebrate freedom then to turn the nation's capital into a giant prison yard.
