holy shit, that's extreme. doesn't sound overly cautious, though. You'd think someone would have a torch if they were that determined.

If they are charging for tickets, I hope the proceeds go towards security and not someone's coffers. I could understand if money was used to defray the cost of the visit or the city will have to cough it up through taxes or budget cuts anyway. Short answer: you're going to pay anyway.
