What do you think of this article about HR 347 (Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds etc...) ?

12. It's a generic catch-all so they don't have to list all the ways to do it.

Here's what the Justice Department says about it:

In addition to appropriate signs providing notice of a temporary residence or of a restricted area, the Secret Service will endeavor to post personnel in appropriate locations to give verbal notification to persons seeking to enter without authority or otherwise act in violation of the statute, to meet the special problems of notice in restricted areas

It should also be noted that "otherwise restricted area" has been in the law since 1971, and any attempts to claim nefarious intent would have to explain why it has never been used for such intent in the last 40 years.
