I've seen a bunch of comments elsewhere that it's about respect -- and while I'll agree that someone trying to be disruptive should be removed, these are also *tourists*, not supplicants, and the occupants are *not* royalty.

At best, it's US Citizens coming to see from whence the country is governed -- and no citizen should be turned away from that without good cause (especially since that visit has to be approved long in advance). At worst ... well, they're expecting no more than a fancy version of Mickey's House at Disneyland, as disheartening as that is.

I don't care who's in office on this one -- the dress code has been set offensively high.
