They are asking for ID if your leaving the city because they have a list of people who will try to escape.

Anybody familiar with D.C. able to verify the building in the background there? Just want to make sure that the photo was in fact taken from the outside of the perimeter

That's actually not backwards. Barriers first, then fence. Pretty standard.

The picture is from the inside of the fence. The building you see is the Library of Congress which is right across the street from the Capitol.

Lol, their not worried about people screwing with the lags because snipers exist. This is pretty much the same setup you see around refineries and chem plants and other Federal Trade Zones. See alot of it down here in oil & gas country.

Why would I waste time dicking around with a wrench when I could just grab some cutters or a saw and cut through? Dude, they are NOT building a jail around the capitol. No matter how hard you guys try to believe that's happening, that's not going to happen.

So I suppose the barbed wire at the top on the inside is standard too?

This, from GWP: "In the days leading up to the Biden inaugural, the nation’s capital has been turned into an occupied military zone like Baghdad. Armed troops authorized to use lethal force are manning checkpoints to enter and leave downtown Washington, D.C. Green Zone and and Red Zone perimeters have been established. Several bridges into the city from neighboring Virginia are scheduled to be closed next week for the inaugural." This is not normal inaugural security....

Checking for Id as in you need to flash an id than walk past

Or checking as in logging who you are, running against a warrant list or other list such as indightment list.
