Probe onThe U.S. Secret Service and D.C. Metropolitan Police located the man in a Washington hotel early Tuesday, interviewed him, and conducted a search, but no weapon was found, and no further action was taken at that time, the report said.
“A full review of this incident has already been ordered, as well as mandatory refresher training on security screening, so this never happens again,” Capitol Police said in their statement, as reported by ABC News.
The report noted that the officer who conducted the screening at the magnetometer at the Capitol Visitor Center has been suspended while the US Capitol Police's Office of Professional Responsibility investigates the officer's handling of the search.
