Didn't the articles posted here on FR yesterday say she attempted to bypass the metal detector? I worked for years in prisons and everyone, even the Superintendent and the State Commissioner were required to pass through the metal detector and show their ID before being allowed entry or exit. In fact, if the officers didn't request to see the ID's, they could be disciplined. And, at any time, any employee could have their bags searched by a uniformed supervisor.
thats part of the priveledge of being a member of congress.
they dont have to go through the detectors
