Embarrassing congressman Dan Burton (R-Ind) suggests closing the "loophole", the terrifying security vulnerability, if you will, that is the lack of a protective barrier between the Visitors' Gallery and the House of Reps' floor. He imagines an apocalyptic scenario of terrorists jumping (or perhaps gliding, flying-squirrel style) into the midst of an all-hands vote and detonating all 435 representatives.
As a native-born Hoosier, I am honor-bound to suggest a solution that is a more practical and cost-effective risk-adjusted solution. I propose no barriers. If terrorists do manage to blow up the house of representatives, we simply elect replacements. Problem solved.

i am happy for my tax dollars to be spent on a bulletproof glass bubble for the congressman from Indiana, from which he can continue to instruct us of his importance, and in which he can roll his way to the nearest Walmart to mingle with his base.
Ron, I SECOND your motion!!!!!
Zim,
I visited a Walmart last weekend, looking for a Grandtec flexible keyboard (none were found). It was my first visit to Wally World in several years. SCARY. Let stupid Hoosier congressmen be culled from the herd.
