I got up and did my PT this morning, then went to work at the Courthouse. I owe the Sheriff a couple of days, so I've been working that off as Courthouse Security, manning a metal detector that the public uses. No, I haven't found anything to give me pause or to reckon that The People coming in to the Courthouse are a threat. It's post 9/11 nonsense and it's the New Normal.
Still, it's good to greet the general public and I try to make the job entertaining without hampering the flow of folks conducting business. I've run into a lot of old friends and it's great to be able to serve The People in a way that I haven't been able to serve.
I'll be checking the Friday Afternoon news dump and if I see anything interesting, I'll comment on it.
A friend of mine works in the King Co. Courthouse in downtown Seattle. He told me an interesting story that never made the news.
ReplyDeleteA short while ago it was discovered that one of the scanners where hundreds of people are checked going in had been non functional for from two weeks to a month.
Strangely, no one tried to blow the building up or shoot anyone.
