City Hall lobby security bracing for a crowd

Only two officers stand behind the doors and metal detectors as people enter City Hall, but more are on the way.

Mayor Willie Herenton's 2 p.m. reception is open to the public, but everyone who walks in will be screened. The lobby security will have "zero tolerance for irate citizens ... anybody that creates a disturbance," said one officer.

Finding a parking space was hard enough at 9 a.m. It might be double difficult this afternoon..

Should the final sentence read "doubly difficult" rather than "double difficult"?
