Chief: McKinney should have avoided confrontation...

I agree! But hey, sometimes people are in a bad mood and get carried away. Fine. Just appologize for your actions! You know damned well that after the anthrax scares and other terrorist incidents that security is tight in the Congress. Get used to it. Wear your badge, pin or whatever else is required. Heck you get that good health insurance, an office staff and a lot of ot other perks. You probably fly first class on your trips back home! Look, I just can't have sympathy for someone who won't take responsibility for their actions!!!!
