        New York City's 2026 Inauguration Block Party singled out Raspberry Pi and Flipper Zero in their 'Prohibited Items' list.

I'm in St. Louis and won't be going there anyway, so it doesn't impact me, but I thought this was funny, and slightly alarming (they don't single out particular gun manufacturers, just 'guns', so why the Pi?).

But here's the prohibited items list: https://www.transition2025.com/inauguration#faqs (under "What Should I Wear and What Should I Bring?").

And here are two articles on the topic:
