I think it's prudent to exercise additional caution and do extra screening for D.C.-bound flights around events like that.
It requires an astronomically high level of belief in the absurd to accept the notion that TSA gate screening on domestic DC-bound flights is an effective way to stop assassination threats and rioting. These gate screenings were effectively useless in doing what the above suggests such screenings may do.
