Remember this one?
Officials said the incident began on the ground floor of the Capitol before 4 p.m., just inside a ground-level entrance where people must walk through metal detectors.
The shooting started after the gunman entered and magnetometer alarms went off. The man, armed with a handgun, opened fire as he ran toward the office of Texas Republican Rep. Tom DeLay. When the man got to DeLay's office, he allegedly got into a gunfight with a security guard there.
Two officers died, a female tourist and the gunman were injured. The House was in session and the Senate had just finished for the day. The white-domed building was filled with tourists.
I would imagine that security at the Capitol is quite a bit more than a few steps above any mall security team.
My son and I went to the Titans game Sunday and there were tens of thousands of people waiting at the gate turnstiles where a cursory frisk (a Desert Eagle or even larger would’ve been no problem) was taking place on each and every patron. A drive-by at a range of 15-20 feet would be horrendous carnage.
Nothing but feel-good, placebo measures which do nothing to deter determined criminals. :banghead:
