Yahoo is saying they have no metal detectors at the state capitol and the guards are unarmed. I think that's going to change in a hurry...

Kind of ironic, since today airport security is steped up.

Last time i was in the capitol office building they had metal detectors & Secretary of State police with the security guards

Anyone the guards knew were supposed to work there went around the detectors though

It never ceases to amaze me why security guards would be unarmed...especially in these times. What is he supposed to do when facing down an armed intruder? SPITBALLS?

Ya think the suspect would have escaped had the guards been armed? Maybe the incident wouldn't have happened at all?
