With the inauguration approaching, it seems things are getting more and more interesting. On Wednesday, an "unidentified man" was arrested after he attempted to sneak a machete and several knives through a security checkpoint at the United States Capitol building.
An unidentified man was detained Wednesday after he allegedly tried to slip a machete and three knives into the US Capitol Visitor Center hours before President-elect Donald Trump was due to arrive.
US Capitol Police said they plan to press charges against the suspect, who was stopped at an X-ray scanner at the entrance to the legislative complex.
“During security screening at the CVC’s north doors, our officers spotted a machete in the man’s bag, stopped the X-ray machine, arrested the man, and secured the machete,” read a statement from the department.
“Three knives were also found in the bag, along with the machete. Security screening was temporarily stopped at the north side of the Capitol Visitor Center while we investigated.”
The incident took place around 2 p.m. It is not clear what, if any, motivation the suspect may have had in trying to get the weapons past security.

President-elect Trump was scheduled to visit the Capitol Wednesday evening, to pay his respects to late President Jimmy Carter, who is lying in state in the Rotunda. As of this writing, it's not clear if the unidentified man was intending an attack on the president-elect or anyone else in the building.
