How does this happen?
Bear with me, as I ponder what I’ve heard about Area 51 security. I’ve heard that Area 51 has motion detectors and heat detectors, surveillance cameras, and others I can’t think of right now.
Point being that it sounds as if we have technology available which could be used at the White House, but apparently is not being used. This guy made it all the way across acres of ground to the south portico? The other guy made it inside the front door and down the hall to the east room??
Our president should have the best security possible. It seems to me we don’t currently protect the White House to the maximum amount possible.
Heck what about low tech features, such as attack dogs? Those dogs would have taken this dude down long before he crossed the White House grounds to reach the south portico door.
USAF security is set up by the military. WH security is set up by civil service. That should answer the question.
The White House has fence climbers all the time. The Secret Service doesn’t want to shoot them, for for public safety and PC reasons.
