Intruder! Intruder!!
So the Cannon Office Building goes into full lockdown because someone's bag had a gun in it. The shrieking heads have been in full bellow for an hour and a half, until it was announced that it was a toy gun - part of someone's Halloween costume.
I have questions:
If the x-ray machine is there to find weapons, how did the questionable bag get through?
How stupid are the House aides to bring a toy gun into a Congressional office building?
Why did the warning system they put into place after 9/11 apparently not work?
Who's running the show over there? Had this been a real terrorist instead of some Congressional airhead with a toy gun, the office building could have been a smoldering pile of rubble right now. Or there could be people dead.
Is anyone in DC really concerned about security? From here, it sure don't look like it.

Like that 20-year old college guy who successfully placed terrorist-like articles on four commercial airplanes. Someone's asleep at the switch. Do you think someone was taking a nap on 9/11/01?

Not sure about asleep but I heard something about some idiot reading a story about a goat with children.

Hmmm, I'm not sure of your reference, Kuma, but any adult reading children's stories in the midst of the choas of 9/11/01 would have to be a world-class, friggin' knucklehead.

Yep. Now its obvious that, under the excellent stewardship of Prez Bush, we've made great progress toward Homeland Security. At last the homeland is secure. Sheeet! If we can't even secure the friggin Congressional office building can you imagine what kind of security we have for the rest of us?
