3. Light aircraft are a possible means of delivering a weapon of some
kind.

A baby buggy is just as good a tool.

Is there a precedent for baby buggies flying into the White House lawn or
into the Pentagon?

They have been used in other countries and in an area that is off limits to
motor vehicles they would be a very efficient means of delivery.

They should clearly restrict all access to Washington DC then. American
government is more important than tourism.

Apparently, the people in American government agree.

"A handful of members of the congressional leadership complained that,
when they went downstairs, they had to merge with tourists, which made
it harder for them to get out of the building."

I'm not defending the wholesale screeching panic that seemed to occur...at
least not from the government body. But if you were in a building and were
told simply that an airplane was heading at it, you'd most likely exit the
building as well.

At least, I would.

Yes, but hopefully not with an pompous attitude towards others also
trying to exit the building.

You are absolutely correct. You'd think the heroes who are sending people
like my brother off to fight in Iraq would have slowed down to HELP the
tourists out of harm's way. Not complain that they got in the way.

Reminds me of a B-17 crash report I read once. The flight engineer was
knocked to the deck in the impact and the pilots ran right over the top of
him to escape the airplane. Somehow he found a polite way to describe being
walked over in the incident report.

Get rid of the government and keep the tourists. Tourists contribute to the
economy, government hinders the economy therefore making a tourist more
important than a politician.

LOL! Yeah, but now you're starting to make sense, and that's not a
supported feature of Washington DC.
