Man Lands Plane on Capitol Grounds - Veronica Nichols 2nd Period

A man was arrested after landing a small aircraft on the west lawn of the Capitol Building. He was attempting to protest the corruption in politics caused by money and the was campaigns are financed. The incident shut down the US capitol for part of the day and the president himself was briefed on what was happening.
This is something that you wouldn't expect to happen anymore since the passing of laws after 9/11 such as the patriot act and others that allow the government to have more access to people and what they are doing. It's not expected for a man to just pilot an aircraft into restricted airspace and then land it on federal property.
