They already banned cars from driving on Pennsylvania Ave in front of the White House post 9-11. Now after the Secret Service failed to do their job they want to screen people before being allowed to hang out on the street and check out the White House.

Why not just build a mote like all kings did?
To: C19fan
Just wonderful. The Secret Circus screws up, so they want to punish the innocent citizens. Pass the buck time.

The center of Beijing China has the Forbidden City, which is a good historical example of how a massive government with an imperial leader deals with “threats” from its citizens

So Obama supports stop and frisk?
How is setting up public space checkpoints not something out of an authoritarian doomsday scenario?

But they say the rest of us should treat home invaders like “royalty”, show deference to them, and spray wasp repellent at them if it comes to the worst.

So now they are going to build a “green zone” in DC?
Somehow..I don’t think the President deserves that much security. They already overdo it when he travels. This was a screw up that would does not require establishing a “green zone” to prevent. They just need to lock a door and have more agents in the grass.

The screening would likely be limited to bag checks and not include measures taken at airports by the Transportation Security Administration, which include metal detectors and body scans.Note well that the proposed measures would not stop either of the two recent attacks. Why, it's almost like they were staged excuses for this new plan. Bag checks? I'll bet there's some intel about a backpack-borne nasty. That's what they are really trying to stop. Why don't they just come clean? Because all they want to do is protect the White Hut, not us, and don't want us to panic when we realize we're exposed. Nope, if they were worried about some knife-wielding fence jumper, they'd do the magnetometer thing. This is something else.

POS can’t even secure the border around his own house. How the hell is he going to protect Americans. Disgraceful.

so....the people guarding the White Hut are too incompetent to secure the perimeter. So you are going to expand the indefensible perimeter, but make all hapless passers by go thru a TSA-style screening?
