Oops--spelling should be 'shown' not 'shone'. It should be noted that what Cynthia McKinney was harrassed for was being black and a woman found inside the security bubble, where she actually belonged.

But the sexist, racist Capitol police just couldn't quite wrap their head around that, and instead made excuses for why they were harrassing her, like 'she changed her hairdo'.

Members of Congress are always allowed to go around the security checkpoints. Oddly, only Cynthia McKinney was being stopped by Capitol police.
