How to make the most of the RNC without credentials

Tampa Bay Times Forum

Everyone knows the security around the forum is going to be tighter than a gymnast’s ponytail. No one is getting inside unless they have a permit or are Mitt Romney himself, and even he will probably be frisked. But this doesn’t mean anything to the people of Occupy the RNC, who plan to protest the convention in the areas surrounding the Forum. If you are very brave, or if you really don’t like Republicans, this is a great spot to either gawk at the protesters or join them in their outrage. Just be very aware of your surroundings — with Congress spending $50 million on security for a single week, it seems like they pretty much expect something untoward to go down.
