Yep. I think it has something to do with them being far too important to wait in a line with everyone else. They are busy, you know!

I reallly don't have a problem with them being exempt. By their election we are putting our full faith and support behind them in running the country. If we can't we trust that they won't blow up the Capitol Building then we're screwed.

And while I find Cynthia McKinney to be an embarrassment (not for her politics but for her or personality) it does raise an interesting question if she indeed does have more problems than other Congress(white)men in using her privilege.

That said, I'm surprised there isn't some form of gate for people exempted through the metal detector that requires swiping an ID. We had a swipe key gate to go through at work and while our CEO could go anywhere he wanted to without question he still had to swipe his badge to get in.
