I just got back from the RFID protest at McCormick Place: about 25
protesters were there when I left (no one I recognized from the Chicago
Left; they were all or nearly all religious-right types, one guy wrote his
stoprfid protest sign on the back of a sign reading "No King But
Jesus").  I took some photos and will do a writeup for the wire sometime
tonight.

Also: CASPIAN won the right to protest inside McCormick Place, provided
that they pay for a $75-per-person day pass for the event.

There was also a CBS camera crew on hand (including one jerk in a
suit who gave me heat about not being "objective"--I'll tell you the story
some other time), and a camera/journalism crew from Europe.
