Raise your hand if you found someone else's gun in your bathroom.
After incidents in which various members of the Capitol Police left their loaded guns in public bathrooms (one in House Speaker John Boehner's offices, but don't worry—a visiting kindergartner soon found it and thus staff was able to return it to the offending officer), the protectors of America's most important shouty people will be
getting a refresher course on how to use the loo.
"We're now providing additional training for what to do when you have to go to the bathroom," Dine said Wednesday during a hearing about recent security lapses from the Capitol Police.
There's nothing unique about the Capitol Police here, as the
heroes of GunFAIL can attest; armed officers leaving their weapons in bathrooms is endemic among all the various places we put guards these days. Guns and pooping are, for various physical reasons, incompatible.
For all the instances of this happening, though, you'd think there'd be more initial training on what to do. I'm not suggesting a weeklong how-to-bathroom lecture series, but there's got to be an internet course on this or something.
