Entry screening is conducted an average of 10 days each year for each of the state's 41 courthouses, she said. The chief justice also told the Legislature that during that limited time screeners had confiscated more than 1,400 knives or related weapons and five firearms. "Imagine what has come through those doors during the more than 200 days when entry screening was not in place," she said last month.

Maybe the Governor and the lawmakers are getting 'death threats' because of how shabby they are running Maine Government. Maybe they have another agenda for doing this.

Wouldn't surprise me if someone went off the deep end and went into the State House and started firing away! People are getting sick and tired of it, and it's a pity that the people have to take such drastic measures into their own hands to wake the lawmakers up.

I'm not trying to encourage this by any means, but we see what is happening across the United States daily. Nothing is impossible. Our lawmakers need to get back in step with their constituents!
