The most recent White House ‘fence jumper’ has many questioning security around the White House, but the devil is always in the details. Apparently the Secret Service has been lacking in security measures for absolutely ridiculous reasons.

If you recall, the most recent fence jumper was able to climb over three different fences and actually gallivant around White House grounds for almost 20 minutes before finally being captured. How is this possible in the age of technology and what should be the highest security in the country?

Well, the Washington Examiner explains how that happened:

Tran was able to scale that particular area of the fence without setting off alarms because they had been removed, leading to confusion among officers about his whereabouts and whether an intruder was inside the White House complex, the sources told the Examiner. Secret Service personnel removed the alarm sensors along an area of fence line when the agency raised its height in response to previous fence-jumping incidents as a way to make it harder to scale, the sources told the Examiner. Ironically, the very effort to prevent fence jumping appears to have permitted a particularly egregious intrusion. Some agents and officers also are questioning why Secret Service never released the K-9 unit to try to find an intruder after the alarms on the first fence the intruder scaled went off. Most of the dogs the Secret Service uses are Belgian Malinois, a breed trained to detect and stop intruders of any kind. The agency is concerned about releasing the dogs too soon and possibly harming people and other animals but they are mostly muzzled so would not do lasting damage if let loose on the South lawn in order to find an intruder, the sources said.

They are concerned about harming an intruder on White House grounds more than they are about the safety of the President and his family? Does anyone actually care that an intruder is harmed? Apparently the Secret Service does.

This isn’t an incident that only happened under the Trump Administration either, it happened while Obama was in the White House as well.

It appears the Secret Service needs to change the way they treat these types of incidents, ASAP. This is legitimately a national security issue that must be addressed.

What is the point of having the best security in the world if they don’t actually provide the best security in the world for the “leader of the Free World?”
