I think he came in armed and was going to toss it in any scenario... "What! I'm getting off Scott-free on a technicality...well this bud's for you, Your Honor!" <fling>
Judges do not want the security people in the court room hovering over the defendants. In federal court, the US Marshal Deputies are suppose to fit in as much as possible. Yes, they can certainly make it to the defendant in time to keep him from rushing the judge and physically assaulting him, but slinging poop is another problem altogether and and act that can be done fairly swiftly. By the time the security personnel realized what was happening I'm sure it was too late.
I watched the video there were quite a few guards that rushed the man, although how he was able to hide such an item is the real question.
As for the 40 year sentence, he had carried out over 30 Armed Robberies, so what did he expect.
I know in England & Wales some Courts have secure docks, sometimes enclosed in glass although there has been some debate as to whether this demonises the defendant and makes the Jury more likely to convict in Crown Court Cases. Mny Magistrates Courts also have secure docks. Personally I am all for secure docks especially in cases which involve severe violence or where there may be a security risk.

The judge says, "I live in a £3 million house, my beautiful wife, 20 years my junior, is preparing a fillet steak there for my dinner when I get home, after dinner I'll have a Napoleon cognac, now, you tell me, who is the (rhymes with blunt?).

Do we not say **** around these parts? <- I guess we don't.
So basically, this whole incident is a fecal matter...
