No comment on the FOIA angle. In general if I were a lawmaker I would be very shook right now. The people who are supposed to protect me are either incompetent or untrustworthy. Hindsight is 20/20 now but with more organization today could have been a major attack. My guess is that we'll see a purge followed by an increased militarization / professionalization of the force that protects lawmakers. The Secret Service is well known, yet I haven't heard of the Capitol Police until this incident.<p>Edit: Or maybe it'll be a wakeup call for lawmakers to investigate whether they actually have the allegiance of the various law enforcement agencies that were present or absent today.<p>At an even more general level one key institution (the presidency) has just passively (actively?) supported a major bodily threat to the most powerful people of another key institution (the lawmakers) so I imagine we'll see the full force of America's checks and balances in play now.
