A Sergeant-at-Arms “visitor tracking” program to control access to the Capitol Complex by requiring all visitors to provide official photo IDs and submit to digital background checks will produce a “logistical nightmare” that “fundamentally alters our federal legislature,” a House committee was told Feb. 17.
“I note with great alarm the suggestion by the House Sergeant at Arms, who serves on the Capitol Police Board, to impose a visitor tracking system akin to the WAVES system employed at the White House,” Demand Progress Education Fund Policy Director Daniel Schuman testified before the House Committee on Administration.
