The Department of Homeland Security released an executive summary of its report on the Secret Service moments ago. The report recommends that the U.S. government replace the entire fence surrounding the perimeter of the White House.
The report was drafted after a fence-jumper made it into the White House in September, prompting a congressional hearing and the resignation of Secret Service Director Julia Pierson.
Officials for the DHS declined to say in the report “precisely what the optimal new fence should look like,” but offered some suggestions.
“A number of common-sense improvements should be explored. For sure, the fence must be taller; even an increase of four or five feet would be materially helpful,” the report reads, calling for the fence to be manipulated to include “curvature outward” at the top of the fence to make it more difficult to scale.

Moat and gator time!
Climb this fence if you believe in the death penalty...and you'll only die tired...
Or maybe simply say.....Survivors will be prosecuted.
“Curvature outward” at the top of the fence.
Like zoo fence curves inward to keep the animals in and here, same thing—but the WH fence is curved out to keep the people out.
Why not just make it a 20’ wall and they can charge the public to peer through periscopes?
Bingo !
Oh, the irony...
Ted Cruz should use artists’ renderings of what this impregnable fence would look like and plaster his campaign ads with them.
“Obama wants a good fence for HIS property - not YOURS”
If e had a president that the people would not want to kill or do bodily harm, the EXISTING fence, which has served well for many, many years is adequate.
Additionally, perhaps the Secret Service needs to pay a bit more attention to their job of “protecting” the usurper in chief. I would assume moral within those ranks are not at the highest level either.
How about tightening up discipline and improving the professionalism of the Secret Service itself?
PLEASE DO!
...just face the barbed wire inward...electrified would be nice.
(to keep ‘him’ in, for those still engaging neurons)
I’m willing to pay for an effective fence just in time for inaugurating an effective president. During these eight terrible years with a gap in that office, a pathetic usurper instead of an American, I’d just as soon not fund the White House or the Secret Service. If the Obamas want to eat, they can go get some Michelle-approved school lunches. If they want security, they can go back to Chicago or Indonesia. As for spending my money, they’re not worth it.
