A fence is being considered around the Capital in DC also.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume the purpose of a fence around the Capitol would be to keep those pesky Congresscritters _in_, not to keep other people out?

No, it would be to protect the congressvermin from attacks. Just like the anti-aircraft batteries and snipers on the white house. The SS is also closing all but 1 tourist entrance to the Capitol. ... In other news today, the US is going to snatch a major Iraqi cleric. Flash to W. sticking his dick into a hornet's nest. Dancing in the streets indeed.
