I believe that the security experts are human and there were errors made in the way it was organized. One thing that has become abundantly obvious is that there was poor coordination between the city and the feds on handling security on the Hill and elsewhere.

Gotta go with kwoldtimer on this one. Yes, many people have made comments, but that doesn't mean that those comments are of the informed variety.
I think that there are legitimate gripes about how security on the Hill was handled. Not so much with security elsewhere. There was a huge police presence everywhere downtown, and I haven't seen anything to suggest that they did anything other than strike a good balance between providing security and letting people enjoy the day.
Comments on long lines and no amenities in the secure zone I can buy. But I'm not sure how anyone with no expertise in security and no knowledge of the extent of the measures that were in place can make a useful comment on the quality of the security elsewhere.
