WASHINGTON (AP) - A third uninvited guest made his way into the White House state dinner for India's prime minister in November, the Secret Service said Monday. As the Secret Service was reviewing how an attention-hungry couple—Tareq and Michaele Salahi—got into the dinner without being on the guest list, officials discovered that a third person made it through security without an invitation as well. The Secret Service said the man—whom they would not identify—did not get close to the president or the first lady.
The Secret Service is investigating the Salahis, and the Justice Department is looking into whether they broke any laws. The Secret Service said the other man they just learned of is now under investigation as well.
The man traveled to the White House from the hotel where the Indian delegation was staying. The Secret Service said the man arrived with members of that delegation. But he was not in the Secret Service's database of people prescreened and approved to attend the event. Part of the security screening is a criminal background check that the Secret Service does before a guest enters the White House. The Salahis and the man traveling with the Indian delegation did not go through that background check.
But the Secret Service said all three uninvited guests went through other screening, such as metal detectors, before the event.

Wow. So I guess a guy who wants to kill a president only needs to conceal a sharped plastic shank. How hard is that?
Makes you wonder how many more?
still getting used to my new keyboard.

I remember I was so relieved when I was told that the Salahis may have gotten into the party, but got nowhere near the president.
THE SYSTEMIC FAILURE ADMINISTRATION.
