Cool. Here's a story from Fox News about Code Pink using subterfuge to try to obtain Senate and House press credentials just seven months ago:

WASHINGTON — Anti-war demonstrators from Code Pink took a further step in their efforts to protest at the Capitol Tuesday, with two members of the group attempting to apply for media credentials with false information, FOX News has learned.

The two protesters, not dressed in the typical fuchsia used to identify group members at protests, entered the Senate Radio-TV Gallery with an application for credentials that indicated they were documentary workers for Dateline NBC.

A confrontation soon ensued with the gallery director, with the protestors growing more and more belligerent, according to a witness to the events. Eventually the duo, failing to get authorization from the Senate gallery, left the office, only to try the same trick on the other side of the Capitol with the House Radio-TV Gallery. They failed in that endeavor too.

There was a small group of them along the parade route on Constitution Avenue...I made sure I was between them and the soldiers I was walking with.

My other question after reading that is why aren’t the arrested when they try to use false documents to get into what can be considered “sensitive” areas?

Fake press credentials on Kos?

Is this the same guy who posted Obama’s bogus Birth Certificate at Kos?

See recent Freeper posts by “Red Steel” and “ckilmer.”
