You are absolutely right. It is ridiculous in this time of terrorism that anyone is allowed to avoid screening when entering a government building in the Capitol of the United States.
Especially a democrap as we know they want the USA to lose the war on terror is it will get them elected.
I do not like, however, the growing trend of the government to wall itself from the citizens. The ruling class must be getting very nervous, 2nd Amendment and all you know.
