The fence jumper who roamed around the White House grounds for 17 minutes before being apprehended by the Secret Service was able to breach security so easily because the sensors along the fence had been reportedly removed.
The agency had removed alarm sensors along an area of one fence that the intruder scaled, according to two sources familiar with details of the incident.
One source said superiors in the Uniformed Division told Secret Service personnel to remove the sensors and piece them together for use elsewhere. They were never replaced.

Those ‘superiors’ need to be demoted and transferred to Alaska.
LOL! But you're right. This is FUBAR.
The curious thing is that the intruder climbed the undefended section. Coincidence? Or not?
If I read the story correctly, the sensors were removed when the fence height was raised. Again, when?
Keystone Kops!!!
My question is why didn’t they have the new sensors on hand when they raised the fence and removed the old??????
Criminal charges against all agents involved, including the supervisors, regardless of affirmative action.
Yeah, hire the Bikers for Trump! Great idea!
Exactly...
Get Pinkerton back in there.
In a way, this looks like a setup against Trump....
Why were they removed, when were they removed and were they supposed to be replaced.
Until we know those answers it is all speculation
Well said and AMEN!!
“What ‘somewhere else’ is more critical than our President’s safety?”
On a thread about this topic yesterday someone mentioned that some security functions were disabled having to do with Bo, the Obamas’ dog. I have no clue what the connection was. Something to keep other dogs away from Bo, maybe...?
Puhleeze! That dog was paper trained!
You would think a missing sensor array on the WH fence would be an important detail to the Secret Service.
From a Washington Examiner article:
“Early during President Obama’s first term, the top agents charged with protecting the president and his family on the Presidential Protective Division were concerned about Secret Service dogs attacking Bo, Obama’s first Portuguese Water dog and beloved pet, a source said.”

That’s ridiculous.
Ever wonder why the big guy spends as much time at Mar a Lago?
Cause protection there is his, not the SS.
Is it not way past time to bring in Erik Prince’s outfit? Immediately the Blackwater crew is in place, the entire SS detail now covering the President should be arrested and subjected to extreme vetting before being returned to active duty - such duty being limited to investigating the production of counterfeit US currency by the NORKs and the Taliban, wherever found.
It's obvious why Trump kept his own security detail in addition to the Secret Service.
