(25,959 posts)Notice the wording: "rule change mandating fines for Members who refuse to follow new screening protocols for the House Chamber" and "imposing fines on those who refuse to abide by these protections."
This is obviously meant to cover not just walking through the sensor but behaving properly if the sensor is set off or if they are found carrying something they shouldn't be. It is a shame they have to vote on a rules change for this, but good for Pelosi for making the little babies behave.

(55 posts)Maybe I am missing something here. So does that mean all the rich members could go around the metal detecters as long as they pay the fine?

(16,083 posts)money grubbing they tend to be. Losing even a penny is torture to those types.
Having someone take THEIR money just because they don't follow the rules will make them very cranky.
But it might also make them follow the fucking rules.

(6,443 posts)Much needed action to protect everyone there from the seditionists who have and want to carry weapons inside. Given the full scope of their murderous seditious conspiracy now coming into view, its not a moment too soon. 👏👏

(63,185 posts)Given the events of the past week, it would be irresponsible that they're bypassing the metal detectors due to their hostile intent.
