I can understand in this era of terrorism why a guard anywhere might want to search. And maybe why it might be a good thing at times. But I am also glad we have the Ridleys of the world who question and challenge authority. Also, I think it's pretty amazing how polite the head of security was. Where I live it would have been a very different matter. (Ridley is always polite of course, and I admire that as well) Even in the face of out right harrasment by cops.

Are the guards designated law enforcement officers, or are they security with only citizens' powers of arrest?
In order to search, one has to be able to articulate a reasonable ground for the search. The guard seeing someone looking left/right, if that even occured, and entering the building close to closing time isn't sufficient cause to raise a reasonable suspicion. Are only people who look straight ahead not suspicious? The guy was probably just bored and was looking for something to do.

Funny how he had such a great understanding of what happened, until Dave mentioned the "inconsistencies", at which the chief "didn't know" because he "wasn't there".

Geeeeeessshhh!!!
Who HASN'T heard of the Ridley Report?

Why don't you go back to the State House and re-interview the security officer once again (on cam of course)? You can lead it off by informing the officer that his supervisor made the suggestion.
-
What would have happened if you didn't consent and declined the search "request"? I'd like to know the answer to that.

im very suprised to here you can open carry in a state building. i have a ccw license in my state and cant carry into any state building of any kind.
there are a few states out there that realize that "government," property belongs to the people not the government. I think at least in Pa and Virginia comes to mind.

At least the chief is very talkative and seems reasonable enough - also, good stuff that he at least says his people/he himself supports open carry.
