I don't see that anything in your post changes the dynamic described in this incident. So she brushed past and they either didn't see her clearly enough or didn't recognize her. The officer in question called out to her three times and THEN put his hand on her. I don't care how important you are - everyone needs to comply with security procedures. This wasn't even a big deal until McKinney started trumpeting that she was the victim of profiling. The only profile she fit was of a person skipping a security checkpoint.
To backpedal now and claim that this is all because her hairstyle changed is... classless. She expected a priviledge that was not extended - because she didn't follow the procedures. An utter non-story.
Host, if your doorman was so diligent, I hope he'd try to confirm the identity of someone he didn't see or otherwise recognize. In my building, security requires ID all the time. I'm often asked to scan in even though I'm one of TWO live-in staff. What does that have to do with the House of Representatives? Nothing.
