[SkateDC] Inaugural Skate -- Post Article

[Emily Bennett]

As usual with skating, it will prolly be wholly dependent on the mood of the security staff persons, with a variety of interpretations.  Make sure to be polite if they stop you!

Today's Post has an article specifically addressing (in the headline!)
people wanting to skate to the Inauguration. The article, titled "To
Transit Schemers Add Skaters, Paddlers, Pedalers," is available at
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/15/AR2009011503834.html?sub=AR

The article includes the following paragraph:

Stephanie Morrisette, a wetlands biologist/professional roller derbyist who is
flying in for the inauguration from Northern California, checked out the city
maps and secure zone restrictions online and saw nothing about good
old-fashioned roller skates. "I'm not worried about getting around
people or through people, because I deal with that all the time with the crowd
at bouts," she said. Her partner, John Henry Dale, will be riding his
skateboard to keep up. 

But I'm still unclear.  Are skaters "wheeled vehicles" included
in the ban near the Mall or parade route?
