- Nope... I've submitted my recommendations with a heavy emphasis on
- TRAPWIRE and 100% digital CCTV upgrades for the entire Capitol, but have
- been told that all recommendations will be passed up to the
- legislature/committees for a decision. As long as DPS is charged with
- securing a public building without "owning" any of the physical
- systems/hardware OR the ability to implement critical security measures
- without the approval of an arguing, indecisive body of untrained,
- self-proclaimed, security experts, I fear the public and the stakeholders
- in the complex will remain soft targets for domestic violence and acts of
- terrorism.
