Why was he not institutionalized much less able to get a top security pass?

I love Reagan but he was not perfect. Reagan's fault.

Institutionalization of the insane is now voluntary. It takes a court to get someone committed. It is really hard to do now.

Reagan's fault.

Um, no. Do your homework, and learn about the ACLU role in releasing the mentally ill unto the streets.

Nope. In the late 1970s, the ACLU and other pressure groups called for large mental health facilities to be closed, pushing the notion that "warehousing" the mentally ill was "cruel and inhumane." So the emphasis shifted from commitment to facilities to "community care and treatment." Remember all those "homeless" the libs hollered about back in the early 1980s, as they tried to tag Reagan's supply-side economics policies? Many of them were mentally ill.
