Secret Service had removed alarm sensors from fence intruder scaled
The Washington Examiner ^ | March 20, 2017 | SUSAN CRABTREE

The fence-jumper who wandered around the White House complex for 17 minutes was able to elude the Secret Service in part because the agency has taken down alarm sensors along an area of one fence that he scaled, according to two sources familiar with details of the incident.

The intruder, identified as Jonathan Tran, was able to jump over three different fences, including at least one between the Treasury Department and the east area of the White House complex shortly before midnight March 10.

So the guy just happened to scale the section they had cleared of sensors?

What a coinky-dink!

Why and when were the sensors removed and at whose authority?

Secret Service were afraid their dogs would attack “Bo” an “Obama beloved pet”

Where is Bo while Odumbass is on vacation in Tahiti?

Sensors might need to be replaced because they are overly sensitive and always going off or if they are malfunctioning, a knowledgeable source said. Another said that area was particularly prone to false alarms because of birds landing on the fence-line and tripping the sensors.


Here’s an idea. An electrified fence. How hard is that?

In today’s world, how can that happen... Are there no camera systems that detect large objects crawling over a fence? It can’t be that hard to create some pattern recognition software that looks at video for changes in objects in the image.

On the other hand, if it doesn’t exist, maybe I should start a patent.

I used to hold two agencies in continuing high regard: the FBI and the US Secret Service. Anymore, not so much. I t.hink they both need new leadership and a good haircut.

You realize that Indira Ghandi was killed by her own security forces. Now the basturd Secret Service lets Tran stroll around the White House grounds, look in the window and jiggle the handle? Whose side are they on?

And why don’t they monitor the fence from the fence instead of inside in the aircon drinking coffee and bullsh8tting?

When did they remove the sensors?

Was this 3 years ago or just after Trump won?

A dog from the K-9 unit was only called in after the man was detained, in order to inspect the backpack for explosives. Secret Service officers involved were alarmed when the dog sat by the backpack — a signal that it had detected explosive materials, one source said.

Shall we conclude from the false positive that the dog was borrowed from the drug-detection unit, where they nearly always "alert" whether there's anything or not.

I found the answer to the sensor question — but my method is a secret.

Yep. POTUS needs to stay as far as possible away from armed USSS affirmative action hires.

Lamecherry said it was with intent to get people fired due to internal strife among SS.
