Re: Guns Yes, Tampons NO! Welcome to Texas, Y'all!
This is their government at work. They have a right to watch without having personal items pointlessly confiscated without any advance warning.
Yes, they have a choice. They can choose not to attend. No, advanced warning does not have to be given when you enter a public building. It's a part of security. I had my nail file taken out of my purse and temporarily confiscated when I entered a court house before, and there were no signs specifying that my nail file could be taken.
No one was forced to view the proceedings. People were made aware beforehand, they made their decision and, if they wanted, they could get their (extra) tampons returned.
