Reply #41: Congressional ID doesn't matter at the door [View All]

everyone who works on the Hill has a similar ID, and all of them, except the Members, have to go through security. Even if all that security is is scanning your ID. The lapel pin is what allows you to, at a glance, bypass even the card scanning security.

and racism doesn't enter into it, I'm a white male, and if I bypassed security, even with an ID card around my neck, I'd be stopped as well.
