US Secret Service report reveals 91 security breaches

The breaches include a family driving a vehicle on to the White House grounds and a man being allowed access after being mistaken for a delivery driver.

The report comes only two weeks after a couple gatecrashed a state dinner hosted by President Barack Obama.

The 2003 document was obtained by the Washington Post newspaper.

The Washington Post said the report had been used for training officers in the Secret Service, the branch in charge of the president's security.

A spokesman for the Secret Service, Ed Donovan, said that there had been 10 security lapses since 2001, including the incident in November 2009 involving Tareq and Michaele Salahi.

2. You mean while the dad of the guy who shot him was scheduled to be meeting with the Vice President

... who would have succeeded him?

Sounds more like a plan than a breach.
