Daily Texan to Gov. Perry: Umm, please protect state legislators

Texas Governor Rick Perry voted this week against placing metal detectors and x-ray machines at entrances to his state's capitol building.

The Daily Texan's editorial board took issue with Perry's vote.

Most other government buildings, including Austin City Hall and the federal courthouses here, have at least some type of visible security measure to screen people before entering. For whatever it’s worth — that is, even if these measures are purely security theater — they act as deterrents for would-be criminals.
