Time magazine, this week:
Time has learned that last Wednesday, the House Sergeant-at-Arms sent a memo to all representatives with a new security precaution in addition to the ones they had been advised to take after Sept. 11, 2001. After the 9/11 attack, the legislators were told to remove license plates on their cars that identify them as members of Congress and replace them with regular plates. And when they leave the congressional grounds they should take off the pins they wear on their coat lapels identifying them as congressmen. Now the Sergeant-at-Arms advised members to take the underground tunnels when they walk from their offices to the Capitol for votes instead of venturing outside, where they might be targets for terrorists.(emphasis added)
