Supreme Court justices told Congress that threats against them have "come very close" to materializing and requested a significant security increase. Justice Amy Coney Barrett described a specific scare involving her son discovering a bulletproof vest, underlining the real danger justices perceive.
This is a shift in tone from the Court. Justices typically avoid drawing attention to security vulnerabilities or threats.
