ANOTHER SCHOOL/PUBLIC SHOOTING

[BlueTiki]

I recently went into a state run building as well as a federal building and they both had a lot of security, the federal building had waaay more than the state one.

The last time I was in the Federal Building, in Phoenix, I was there to pick up material for a client.  I had an appointment. 

I was dressed professionally and brought minimal personal items with me.  Unlike the the State or County buildings, the Fed building's security was a fifty-foot, cordoned "catwalk" . . . staged with personnel in three different locations, along the path . . . and they were all wearing the same sport coats and slacks.  All had earpieces and concealed weapons.

My briefcase was searched three times and at each location, they casually asked what was my business in the building . . . same questions at each stop.  I felt like I did when I entered Israel . . . a little frightened and intimidated . . . by their demeanor.

And a bit angry, too.  But I kept that to myself.
