This story is developing. Please check back for further updates

Department of Homeland Security is beefing up protection at federal buildings in Washington, D.C., and in other areas across the country, Secretary Jeh Johnson said Tuesday.

Although he did not cite any specific threats to individual government buildings, Johnson said, "the reasons for this action are self-evident: the continued public calls by terrorist organizations for attacks on the homeland and elsewhere, including against law enforcement and other government officials, and the acts of violence targeted at government personnel and installations in Canada and elsewhere recently."

“Given world events, prudence dictates a heightened vigilance in the protection of U.S. government installations and our personnel,” he added.

Well, considering that 1/2 the Secret Service is getting BJs and the other 1/2 is nipping the bottle, I could so easily see 10 Jihadist jump the WH fence with guns and rush the WH.

Do you people really think the clown Secret Service could stop such an attack. I say no way.

Would they be delivering the job offer to Baraq to become Grand Caliph of ISIS in Jan 2017?

Somebody wants people to think that he’s actually DOING something about the terror threat.

Meanwhile round the clock 747s full of foreigners, Mid Easterner's and cootie carriers are on approach to the U.S., as they fly over what appears to be millions of ants pouring across our borders to join the tens of millions already here...

But we must secure those buildings....This will keep all the tax paying peons safe!~

***Johnson said, “the reasons for this action are self-evident:***

Sorry Jeh, it’s not self-evident. This administration and its lackeys do nothing to preserve and protect the American citizen. Case in point is the ebola situation.

Everything, I mean everything, that is done and said, or not done and not said, is calculated and highly political.

Therefore, we really don’t know what you’re up to.

Perhaps they received word that some F&F guns were near Federal buildings.

More added to CNBC.com

“The DHS also encouraged state and local governments to be “equally vigilant, particularly in guarding against potential small-scale attacks by a lone offender or a small group of individuals.”
