From what I've read, McKinney was not wearing the Congressional lapel pin, identifying her as a member of Congress and entitling her to walk past the security unchecked. That being the case, she, like anybody else, was subject to being stopped.
That should have been the end of it, but I read that words were exchanged and she may have been grabbed as she tried to go past. In the days post Sept. 11, security being what it is, I have to side with the officer (unless other conflicting information emerges).
As for the resolutions, that's politics (shrug). Any side will do what it can get any advantage it thinks it can. <---that's why the general public has so little respect for politics now.
