Graduating midshipmen of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis are being told in writing to leave at home or in their vehicles all “ceremonial swords” and anything else “that might be considered a weapon or a threat by screeners” for Friday’s outdoor commencement ceremonies featuring an address by President Barack Obama.
Inside the Beltway has obtained the academy’s list of prohibited items for this year’s graduation exercises, which, besides ceremonial swords, includes umbrellas."
Head,
I understand your fury, but it isn’t normal for Mids to graduate while wearing their swords. The same banned items policy existed when Bush attended the graduation and commissioning ceremony at the Naval Academy.
