So it would look sort of like a giant paperweight then?
A Republican Indiana congressman has a new plan to protect members of Congress from a terrorist attack: enclose the Capitol gallery with a Plexiglas shield.
...To the shock of onlooking congressmembers, Burton described how a terrorist could kill the lot of them....
...The Washington Post’s Mary Ann Akers noted: “Before rejecting his amendment, members of the committee stared at Burton dumbfounded, according to sources in the room, as if wondering to themselves how to delicately explain to the Indiana Republican that he may be more in need of Xanax than Plexiglas.”

You've really gotta like this guy Burton...
The Indiana legislator is most famously known for re-enacting the alleged murder of former Clinton aide Vince Foster by using a gun and a melon (the type of melon is in dispute).
I mean, hey, you can't get much higher on the entertainment scale then that.
