An airport-style security screening checkpoint could be coming to the Alaska State Capitol, ending decades of open public access.
published Oct. 2, the nonpartisan agency in charge of Capitol administration seeks a private firm to “conduct security screening of visitors and visitors’ belongings.” The firm may also be in charge of screening incoming packages.
Jessica Geary, director of the LAA, said by email that the request for bids “was requested by Legislative Security Services and will be considered at the December 12 Legislative Council meeting. There will need to be a policy in place to determine what the screening would look like, and we just started to work on a draft policy.”
Sen. Jesse Kiehl, D-Juneau, represents the district that covers the Capitol and sits on the Legislative Council.
