If you are a kohein, make sure you do not go into the Knesset building today. Take this as a public service announcement. I hope you didnt go in already this morning before this was posted.

Yitzchak Shamir's funeral will be later this afternoon at Har Hertzl. The Knesset yesterday decided that today, from 10 AM until 4 PM, Yitzchak shamir's body would lie in state in the Knesset building. The public is invited to pay respects and pass before the casket (until 4 PM). The reason they chose to have the body in the building rather than outside is due to the extreme heat. (source: Ladaat)

So, if you are a kohein, today is not the day to visit the Knesset.
