The Secret Service response to this latest security breach is to request a larger secure area around the White House Complex. They want to put in random check points and just stop people who are walking around near the White House. As a life long Northern Virginia resident I have watched the federal triangle area slowly turn itself into the Green Zone. Here is a novel idea for the Secret Service, do your job right the first time and you wont have to worry about these screw ups. They fuck up and the public pays the price for their incompetence. As for political motivations the secret service officers are people too and I am sure they have their own political views. However the job of protecting any high ranking political official is supposed to be done in an apolitical manner. It appears that this is not the case.
