Last evening on Television I watched a news program that was investigating how crowd size was determined for events such as these. The old method that was used was refered to as "WAG" (Wild Ass Guess) I'm not kidding that is what the reported said. And I belive he has talking to the DC police or Park Police. However, now they have a grid of the DC area. They take areial photos of marches and then place the grid overtop of the photos and estimate that way. I can't which station it was. Did anyone else see this? Jennifer Brown
