   It could be a moot point, because a major offender when it comes to disrupting House sessions is Code Pink, and most of those quasi-women would be able to shatter the Plexiglas shield with little more than a glance, a wink and a quick flash of armpit hair.

I would hope scanning and genital pat downs are included with the cost of admission for the American public. Perhaps the congress critters can stay home in their districts and just Skype it in. I know the lobbyist on Capitol Hill surely need more space.

    I actually don’t have a problem with encasing both houses of congress in plexiglass, as long as the envelope is complete and unbroken and the door locks are on the OUTSIDE so we can keep them all where we can watch them.

    The security is pretty good in the Washington, D.C. Capitol area. The real problems are everywhere else.

    I think that every member of the House and Senate will need 2 security guards and a metal detector at all future events to prevent copy cat type of attacks.

    Off topic…but very interesting. This took place at the end of a democrat lame duck session before the republicans took over the IL Legislature. The losers in the last election screwed the entire state of Illinois in the dead of night, on their way out of office. There is NO HONOR on the left. NONE.
    

    “A triumphant Gov. Pat Quinn congratulated fellow Democrats early today after the Illinois Senate and House sent him a major income tax increase without a single Republican vote in favor.

    Quinn smiled and shook hands on the floor of the Senate around 1:30 a.m. after the Senate voted 30-29 for the bill, which would raise the personal income tax-rate by 67 percent and the business income tax rate by 46 percent.

    The House passed the bill hours earlier Tuesday night — likewise without a vote to spare and with nary a Republican in support.”

    Get ready to see a mass exodus from Illinois.

    Nah, then we surrender to the nutjobs, who will find other means to do what they do. Nutjobs willing to obey their inner domons to kill have been around for centuries. Proper security can be done for outdoor events. One only needs to be aware of and alert to potential dangers and be prepared.

    What? We pay BILLIONS of DOLLARS to outfit the Capitol and the Congree Critters freaking offices and they still don’t know how to use the FLIPPING MOUSE?

    Twice a year for the passed 4 years there have been quite a number of cars from Il coming to my area. When I lived in Il and paid half as much in taxes as I did before moving there, the locals complained all the time about the taxes being high. My former neighborhood has been hit will lots of foreclosures. Higher income taxes will crush anything that is left in that state.

    Those are much too toxic environments for plexiglass. I believe a lead-lined 6-ft thick concrete casement would be much more effective.
