From the Boston Herald (no verification, but found via Google's news tab... Newgle?):
A group called Reclaim the Commons wanted to shut down the conference to protest the proliferation of genetically modified foods developed by biotechnology corporations.
``There's a few hundred people,'' said Lisa Dry, a spokeswoman for the convention organized by the Biotechnology Industry Organization. ``There's plenty of security, so there is no one who is being prevented from attending the convention. Everything is going on as expected.''
