Two brainless GOP congressional staffers play terrorists on Halloween |
There was uproar at the Cannon House Office Building in Washington DC
last week when two of Republican congressman John Shimkus's staffers
brought a toy gun through a security check point.
The staffers had the gun as part of a Halloween costume, and a
security officer - demonstrating just how tight security is on Capitol
Hill - didn't notice the gun's image on the x-ray machine monitor
until the staffers had collected their bags and left.
Panic ensued as the building was evacuated and the House of
Representatives was forced into recess while security officers
attempted to track down the gun-toting "terrorist" and SWAT teams were
summoned.
The drama lasted about 90 minutes before the red-faced staffers
realized what was going on.
Just to put this in perspective, if you live in Washington DC you know
that you can't get into any government building without passing
through a metal detector.
So why two people who work in a government building would be so dumb
as to try and bring a plastic gun through in a bag is kinda beyond me.
