Just strap your belongings directly to your chest. You think they're going to make every person take off their 18 layers of outerwear to get on to the Mall?

Damn, my belt pack is 9 inches (though far smaller than 6x4 in the other dimensions). This is ridiculous.

A commonly found 8x6x4 bag would be the insulated lunch bags. That may be what they are basing this off of.

So, a 1-by-1 glassine baggie, just as a completely random example, should be totally cool, right?

Good question, KCinDC. Not sure about that. It would seem that the restrictions for that part of the event would be less stringent, considering that the hordes on the mass-section of the Mall won't be getting too close to dignitaries. But I am not sure.

Is there any official word on the security restrictions for the Mall outside the area for ticket holders and the parade route?
