Inaugural Security Lapse?

Saturday's inauguration of President Bush featured the tightest security ever, including checkpoints along the parade route and a new presidential limousine built to withstand a rocket attack.

But security was still penetrated, reports CBS News Correspondent Phil Jones, for at least a few seconds. The incident occurred right outside the Capitol entrance used by the man who shot and killed two Capitol police officers in 1998.

On Saturday, President Bush went to this area to begin his inaugural parade.

Waiting in the crowd was a man who had a "standing room only" pass for the opposite side of the Capitol, where Mr. Bush had been sworn in earlier in the day. Those watching the president there had gone though electronic security check points.

But on the Capitol plaza, access was supposed to be much more limited. However, the man was able to almost sprint from the crowd, and within six seconds, he was face to face with the president.

On videotape, he can be seen holding a coin in his hand. You can see the president becoming uncomfortable, and a hand goes up to stop the man.

Moments later, police recognized the man; he'd done the same thing four years ago, penetrating inaugural security to shake hands with President Clinton. He was not arrested or indentified because police say he broke no laws.
