A curious onlooker e-mailed around 4:45 p.m.:
Some VIP was just visiting the Citizen's Bank on Boylston Street at Dartmouth. With a police escort of several cars and motorcycles, and wired Secret Service guys in a couple of Chevy Tahoes. A big crowd was watching for at least 20 minutes, and no one had any idea who it was, although rumors of everyone from Ben Affleck to General Petraeus were flying. Customers were going in and out of the bank and even they couldn't tell what was going on.

Heard on the radio that
Heard on the radio that Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services, was in Boston today.
Hmmm
Was she using the ATM?
The police (some from Cambridge, some State) were letting people in and out of the bank with no delays. The crowd formed as much because everyone else started gathering as anything else.
I overheard one person say it was "the Prime Minister of ..." and then was out of earshot.
My money's on Borat.
