John Parsons, associate director of the Park Service's National Capital Region, said that screenings in an underground visitor center and walled walkways are now necessary because the monument could be a terrorist target.
Critics, however, contend that the walkways, 800-feet wide, would impede the ability of people to move freely on the Mall, and that congregating in an underground visitor center and tunnel could actually pose greater risks to visitors in the hypothetical event of a bombing or armed attack.
