I believe there to be no screening of visitors to the Parliament House, something which may have to change now.
There is much to find out about the lack of security and how the events of that day transpired. I think the news is saying there are 3-4 security of different divisions that provide for security around Parliament hill and in the Houses. It has been brought up a number of times that this is not an ideal situation. |
I hope that changes that there is armed security at the entry ways, though I understand there are armed plain-clothesmen about the grounds. Times have changed, sadly. With the lone wolf type terrorist, radicals and plain crazy people getting weapons and bombs, good security is the only way to safely secure our institutions, leaders and those that keep us safe. That brave, Sergeant-at-Arms killing that terrorist while lunging forward/falling from behind that column was straight out of an action movie. What a man!!!!! We're praying Canada stays safe and strong.
