The Stoopid, It Hurts

Could someone explain to me how the addition of metal detectors at the doors to the state capitol building could have had an effect on a guy who shot his gun up into the air outside the capitol?

The article at KXAN explains some of it but I still don't get it.

At least Governor Good Hair voted against it. Most of the time he is a friend but every now and then he steps in it and pushes the TTC or other shenanigans that just really aggravate me.

I'm thinking the real money quote is;

The State Preservation Board, in a 5-1 vote, approved a package of security upgrades suggested by the Department of Public Safety in a closed-door session this morning.

The whole closed door crap really bothers me. It is our capitol and our tax dollars they are wasting so the meeting should have been a violation of the Open Meetings Act.
