Planners approve design for taller White House fence

[TexasTowelie]

A planning agency has approved the design of a taller, stronger fence around the White House.

The Secret Service says Thursday’s approval by the National Capital Planning Commission means the agency can move forward with contracting to build the new fence.

The changes were proposed after a series of people managed to scale the current 7-foot-tall barrier. In the most serious security breach, a man got over the fence in 2014 and ran deep inside the White House while carrying a folding knife before he was caught. No one was injured.

The new metal fence will be 11 feet, 7 inches tall, and the Secret Service says it will have “anti-climb and intrusion detection technology.” The agency has not disclosed its cost.

Construction is expected to begin next year.

1. So a 12 foot long, thick rubber ladder.

2. Does this mean the Con is scared? Or have there been more threats on him than usual?

I have to believe there have been a lot of threats, just because nobody likes him. I guess he doesn't realize the height of the fence doesn't matter. If the desire is strong enough, the perp will find a way to go over, under, or around it. Same goes for the WH fence & the border fence. They may be a deterrent, but they AREN'T going to stop intentional breaches.

3. Remember when Obama talked about the other person scaling the

fence? They caught Michelle and dragged her back inside the WH.
