They could have easily made up an excuse like "contingency in case of a terrorist attack where national infrastructure is damaged" or something that's actually believable and feasible, lol
It’s a military fortress housing the head of one of the most militaristic nations on Earth. It has redundancies.
I think it would make more sense if (their excuse was that) this was just another redundancy
There are so many better options to whatever they said, like there are so many better options for a properly run government. These days I just assume this is how the the US people (as a whole, I know many do not want this) want their government run, which is troubling but expected nowadays, unfortunately.
They’re letting the terrorism button cool off a bit, considering its basically not been let up since September 2001.
