So it looks like future arrests are not to be based on the "Access to Facilities" section, which applies to the government and not to the individual, but will rather be based on the section that requires individuals to comply with signs and lawful instructions of officers.
Frankly, if the Feds have the signs right, this will put them in a much stronger legal position. I would wager that their policy will be upheld in the courts, because they have wide latitude in setting up security.
That said, I wish they would just eliminate this problem and the potential vulnerability of bringing so many people through the gates who have no business there by just re-routing the buses. Just have all passengers to the facility get off at the Park and Ride and run them in on shuttle buses. How hard would that be?
Gee, gridlock...looks like you "get it" now too... :-)
Question...is it still an "open" facility or "closed" facility? If it's a "closed" facility, then where's the registration of every passenger? If they aren't doing that, shouldn't the "official" be charged with violating the first section?
The protest needs to go to the transit authority now, pressuring the city not to send its buses into a Federal facility. At the very least, they need to put up signs warning passengers, and understanding that by driving on the facility road, they are not serving the needs of those passengers who choose not to provide ID.
