Columbus, Ohio: The federal courthouse in Ohio's capitol city of Columbus will receive security upgrades. The upgrades were planned before the tragic shooting at a Las Vegas federal courthouse on January 4, 2010.

Metal detectors and security screenings will remain normal; improvements are planned in the screening area when people walk into courthouse. Deputy U.S. Marshal Brian Babtist declined to give specifics, but said that the improvements are designed to address vulnerabilities in the security screening area. No timetable for completion has been announced.[1]
