The joke is that the RNC is not and would not be a terrorist target for obvious reasons. Review details of what serious terrorists look for. They look for fixed targets. That means something that is same, mundane, and consistent time after time. They spend months or years analyzing how best to make their attack. They look for things predictable and obvious; things so predicatable so that an attack works the first time. There can be no second attempt.
Nothing consistent or mundane in the RNC. Security changes make attack planning impossible. Adaptive or changing security means terrorists go elsewhere. Airplane flights were consistent; had no security. But it is not longer mudane - too much security with changing (hyped at every rumor) responses. Truck bombs were once obvious tools of the trade. They too are no longer treated mundane. Poison gas attack? Too complex. A tool no longer ignored by security. Terrorists are not smart people who can deal with or respond to complexity.
There will be no terrorist attack on the RNC. In fact, for all the hype and fear, there really are no longer serious terrorist groups in operation now that the president has decided to respond both to the one or two legitamite warnings and a flood of nonsensical fears. IOW this president has finally done what previous president did. But there will be plenty of protesters now put in boxes where nobody can see them.
Best thing for the RNC- just like the DNC? Ignore it. It is nothing more than hype for the political parties with 6,000 press inventing stories while hardly a news story sufficient for 10 reporters exists.
What is more likely to happen during the RNC? Expensive art or other easily disposed and expensive collectables will be stolen in NJ, CT, or Philadelphia. Why? All this hype over a non-event and all this worry about another coming terrorist attack (intended mostly to manipulate your vote) will make crime easiest elsewhere.
Ignore the RNC. Leave it to the protesters. Only massive protests would make the thing newsworthy.
