Papal Gridlock Comes to NYC, DC, Philly - chairman - 09-22-2015
Among the many precautions being taken ahead of Pope Francis's visit to America is a ban on flying drones in New York—and a shutdown of postal service to some neighborhoods. Francis will effectively shut down Washington, D.C., too, with federal employees being told to work from home—the Papal equivalent of a "snow day." He will also have a Spanish-speaking Secret Service agent by his side at all time, in addition to his usual Swiss Guards.

I think that these precautions are done as this may stop anyone trying to cause any problems and also, need to be aware of what happens during the visit. It is interesting to see what happens when the pope visits the city, and also think that some people will get a holiday for the time being. It is a big job to make sure the place is secure and also, do more to make sure the visit is memorable and also enjoyable as well and people have a positive view of the visit.
