Since the September 11 attacks, the roads and grounds around the Capitol have undergone dramatic changes. The United States Capitol Police have also installed checkpoints to inspect vehicles at specific locations around Capitol Hill, and have closed a section of one street indefinitely.
If this is a Federal Law and it is,
why are the thousands of uninvited
mob on January 6th 2021
not already in prison
waiting for a federal trial?
The level of screening employed
varies.
On the main east–west thoroughfares
of Constitution and Independence
Avenues, barricades are implanted in the roads that can be raised in
the event of an emergency.
Trucks larger than pickups are interdicted by the Capitol Police and are
instructed to use other routes.
On the checkpoints at the shorter
cross streets, the barriers are typically kept in a permanent
"emergency" position, and only vehicles with special permits are
allowed to pass.
All Capitol visitors are screened by
a magnetometer, and all items that visitors may bring inside the
building are screened by an x-ray device.
In both chambers, gas masks are
located underneath the chairs in each chamber for members to use in case of
emergency. Structures ranging from scores of Jersey barriers to hundreds of ornamental bollards have been erected to obstruct the path of any
vehicles that might stray from the designated roadways.
After the 2021
storming of the US Capitol, security increased
again.
Additional security fences were
installed around the perimeter, and US National Guard troops were deployed to bolster security.
