I posted that they should have a second fence but it needs to be inside not

on the outside.

Put it inside, make it out of transparent material and a few feet higher than the wrought iron fence. This would then be a containment track.

Much better than blocking off more area from public use, which just increases the perimeter and area the Secret Service has to keep an eye on.

Only add to the current prison feel of the White House grounds. No one was in any danger whatsoever in the latest incident -- or in any incident involving fence jumpers.
