      From a reply on the other thread….

      Kate,
      Thanks for writing. This is true. The swords were not allowed in the stadium during the USNA graduation. The Secret Service frowns on any weapons being present, besides their own of course, when the President is in attendance. All Naval officers, and those in any military branch, would completely understand this policy.
