What Am I, A Leper?

This always pisses me off. The courthouse has security. nothing wrong with that in itself. there are certainly some wackos in our business that don't need to be bringing weapons with them to court. there are only 2 metal detectors though which is not nearly enough for the volume of business we do. thus, on most mornings i (and my fellow defense attorneys) wait 10 minutes to get through security. and heaven forbid if it goes off on you and you are subjected to a near cavity search by the men in blue. now we get to the part that pisses me off. while the defense bar is subjected to this crap, guess who goes through the side door and bypasses security altogether- you guessed it- the wonderful men and women of the prosecutors office. and not only the attorneys but the support staff as well. so let me get this right. i am a member of the bar and an officer of the court. i have been practicing before these judges for the past 9 years and i have to go through security but the high school dropout secretary that has been working at the PA's office for a week can breeze right on through? how much more obvious can the court make the fact that they view us in a lesser light than the State.
