The Streets of the Big City

While this happened last Tuesday - I thought I'd share.

Again, just simply walking to work when a very forceful and bulletproof motorcade passes by me and then stops in front of my building. Heavily armed guards get out and point big guns at the sky, the surrounding buildings and above our heads. But some are held in the ready position to the hoi polloi as well.

Of interest to me were the men in suits that travel with the windows open, facing outward, scanning the crowd. No seatbelts, but still at the ready with earpieces, weaponry, and the ability to call anyone into action. Then, out of the big black car comes the foreign minister of iran. Here to be interviewed by AP - and he travels well protected.
