No one wants to do their job anymore! How does this happen?

He passed through a magnetometer and a pat down, then completed a tour with a pistol in his waistband. Unacceptable!

The incompetence is blinding in that story.

First, I can't view Fox news website. Apparently I have an ad blocker the object to.

Second, After a web search and reading other articles, it isn't clear to me how authorities knew the suspect had a firearm after the tour, but not before.

Honestly, like most reporting these days, I'd need a lot more information to form a valid opinion.

This is an odd story, no doubt.

You are correct that very few folks take pride in their job now; especially government employees.

A total revamp needs to be conducted, and heads need to roll, not retrained, fired!

From reports I read earlier, police in the suspect’s home state notified Capitol Police and Secret Service that the suspect had suicidal ideations and was visiting the Capitol. Police didn’t detain the suspect until after he completed the entire tour of the Capitol with the pistol inside his waistband.

Wow. The guy literally had only one job at the point the detector sounded off. No wands apparently?

On the upside, they know the metal detector works.

My first thought when I heard that this had occurred. " Someone did that $hit on purpose!".

If people only did he job they are assigned and never even went far and above the call the world would be a better place.

Absolutely !!!!!

So I actually had a similar thing happen to me a few years back at a concert. Had no idea there would be a metal detector when walking into an outdoor show. I had my little NAA mini revolver on a belt buckle, and it set the alarm off. When the security guard walked over, I said my badge in my wallet must have set it off (I was a firefighter). I was in shorts, T-shirt and sandals, so maybe they figured they would have seen a gun if I had one.

 

Anyway, I guess my word was good enough for them to let me in-lol.
