My guess is that sort of planning could be used, because if there is no way of knowing if he will show up, no one will plan for it. This generally would make security much easier (Again, note the security detail at the event when George Bush Sr. was in Atlanta, it seemed to me to be quite light, even if he is an ex-president).


My 2cents anyways, I'm sure there are plenty of good reasons for him not to come, but I wouldn't rule it out completely. And there's always Deans plan of taking everyone to the Washington mall in a few years too.
