Despite the fact there were no officers on site doing these inspections that knew of any such jars. Or had heard of the reports of suspicious materials in jars over the radio. Or even the evidence of the normal knee jerk, panic attack response of shutting down the entire building which is the norm when questionable substances are found post 9/11.
Apparently the DPS is not aware of the physics of a tampon or sanitary pad which for the most part are light in weight with a high surface area relative to their weight making them terrible projectiles.
Did anyone see any news reports or see someone being inspected being in possession of jars at all never the less jars of fecal matter?
AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) today received information that individuals planned to use a variety of items or props to disrupt legislative proceedings at the Texas Capitol.
Therefore for safety purposes, DPS recommended to the Texas Senate that all bags be inspected prior to allowing individuals to enter the Senate gallery, which the Texas Senate authorized.
During these inspections, DPS officers have thus far discovered one jar suspected to contain urine, 18 jars suspected to contain feces, and three bottles suspected to contain paint. All of these items – as well as significant quantities of feminine hygiene products, glitter and confetti possessed by individuals – were required to be discarded; otherwise those individuals were denied entry into the gallery.
In the interest of the safety and security of Texas legislators and the general public, these inspections will continue until the conclusion of Senate business.
