COPING IN WASHINGTON, D.C.:
Visitors to many buildings must pass through metal detectors and have their bags or packages inspected by hand or X-ray. Additionally, some buildings altogether ban mobile telephones and recording devices such as film or digital cameras, camcorders, and cameraphones. The visitor may be advised to carry a small bag to collect such items prior to screening, and to check them if necessary.
Don't get cute with security people at any government building, period. Don't joke with them about security and absolutely do not threaten them in any way. In the post-9/11 world, these people do not play around.
Smoking and food and drink of any kind are prohibited on Metro trains and buses, a rule strictly enforced with fines and occasionally even arrests.
