Department of Energy helicopters are reportedly flying grid-patters above Washington, D.C. to scan for nuclear irregularities while the Secret Service is reportedly preparing for a ‘worst case scenario’ during Monday’s presidential swearing-in ceremony.
In a CBS Mornings clip posted by talkshow host Benny Johnson on Thursday evening, it was revealed that helicopter pilots are flying just 150-feet above the ground, dodging buildings, as they maneuver in grid-patterns above the capitol city.
The craft are scanning for radiological or nuclear irregularities such as dirty bombs (conventional explosives jacketed in radioactive material) as well as nuclear weapons themselves.

Notably, the DOE is the parent agency of the National Nuclear Security Administration which is responsible for safeguarding national security in relation to the military application of nuclear science.
The current flights are mapping a blueprint of the city’s background radiation in order to have a scientific control to compare the variable to (the inauguration day scans).
Worst case scenarios are being prepared for by Secret Service as well.
“According to Assistant Special Agent in Charge Michael Thomas, security measures for Trumpās inauguration will eclipse anything previously seen. This includes the presence of 25,000 law enforcement officers and military personnel, including 7,800 National Guard soldiers,” Paul Joseph Watson of Modernity said Friday. “30 miles of āanti-scaleā fencing around the site of the inauguration will also provide a ‘ring of steel’ to protect the event and its 250,000 attendees. More than 25 Coast Guard vessels are also in position to patrol the area.”
On Thursday Infowars reported that security agencies have warned of threats to Monday’s inauguration.
Alex Jones hosted a Thursday night special broadcast where he reported and analyzed these developments.
