Alaska State Capitol considers airport-style security by 2025 due to security concerns.

The Alaska State Capitol is considering implementing airport-style security screenings by 2025, ending decades of open access. A private firm may be hired to screen visitors and packages, following security concerns including threats to legislators. The joint House-Senate Legislative Council has not yet approved the policy, with discussions set for December 12. Some lawmakers worry this change could hinder public access to the Legislature.
