First, consider the source of this article is "RT" or Russian Times.
Not exactly an unbiased source of news.
WRT the bill, I would think that it is unconstitutionally vague. A person who decides to protest, say, IRS actions could be arrested if, unbeknownst to the public, the VP is visiting that same building. Otherwise lawful conduct becomes proscribed without notice and does not allow a citizen the opportunity to avoid being charged...as a result, he must either first ask if any official is present (and may be told "no" due to security concerns) or forego his right to protest altogether.
