Are you really being paranoid if people are actually trying to kill you?
Can you think of a higher value target for Al Queda to go after? How about what's left of the Fedayeen Saddam?
He's not being paranoid. A lot of America's enemies would dearly love to harm him. And all peace-loving people better HOPE he stays in excellent health, because God forbid something happens to him... and the Inauguration is a HUGE target.
I for one am GLAD that they're going for maximum security. Better to be heavy handed and keep something bad from happening than to go too light on security and allow something bad to happen. Plus, given that the International ANSWER people are supposed to be out in force, and that they are a very thinly disguised front for America's enemies, it's not paranoia, it's prudence.
