David, The Capital event will draw attention to security. The gunman was on the Secret Service list of people who had threatened to kill the president. I'm sure they have a set of his prints......as they do for hundreds of others who are prone to do these types of things. It would not be unrealistic for folks who enter these types of buildings to have their thumbprints taken...and quickly compared to a data-base of prints, in order to alert police that a threat has just walked through the door. I know it is "the people's house"....but the people's house must be safe for people. I would think the White House Tour would do something like this for sure. The most interesting aspect of the deal yesterday....was that one of the news reporters from CNN, while reporting live from the hospital.....had his cell phone HACKED .......live, on nation-wide TV. I did not hear it......My wife did. She said that a guy jumped in and posed as a CNN reporter...saying that the motive for the shootings was that the gunman was upset because he was unable to get the Howard Stern show on his radio....... Security? As we go further into the age of information.....it is becoming more obvious that our information is not secure. I believe IDX is part of the solution......but folks have just not quite caught on yet. They will.....It may take a group of clever 8th graders taking control of an aircraft carrier or shutting down power grids to a seven state area.....but folks will catch on eventually. That's when IDX will get some serious attention. bg ps. The short term solution for the Capital is a second metal detector further down the hall that would trigger a set of doors even further down the hall....sealing off the building to "runners". Even if the police were shot dead...the system would function.
