In the aftermath of the Tucson shooting, House members are now calling for a plexiglass "security shield" over the House floor to protect them from their supposed would-be assassins. Seems like a bit of overkill (can I say "overkill"?). Aren't there already security measures in place to make sure that no firearms can be brought into the Capitol?
Are they afraid of someone breaking out with a diving leg drop on them in the middle of some inane debate? Because while I don't condone or advocate violence against our government officials, I would accept a nominal tax increase to see that.
Our government already operates within a metaphorical bubble, why should they construct a physical one as well?
