Briskman’s protest aimed at the presidential motorcade that roared past
her while she was on her cycling path in Northern Virginia late last

"On Halloween, after Briskman gave her bosses at Akima,
a government contracting firm, a heads-up that she was the unidentified

"Her
bosses at Akima, who have not returned emails and calls requesting
comment, showed her the blue-highlighted Section 4.3 of the firm’s
social-media policy when they canned her."
