I got up at 3:15 in the morning to get to the Metro train when it opened. I was about the 12th person in one of 6 lines at the start of the Orange Gate. We waited on the street for about an hour and a half before they let us begin to move to the next checkpoint. Everyone was told to not run, so it was power walking time. I got pushed around a bit, but was able to stay standing. At the next checkpoint we were shoulder to shoulder, front to back. I felt very uncomfortable because some people were pushing. At about 6:55 in the morning they let us go through security and get our places by the Capitol.
