This is not new to the city or the federal courthouse, they are more than capable of securing these things. Between the federal, city, (Massachusetts Port Authority) and state police, they've got this covered.

Federal courthouses have a very high level of security to begin with, so what you're doing is basically extending the security barrier beyond the courthouse doors, the possibility of something happening exists every day, so I'd imagine they're being a little more cautious with this.
