How Disturbed Man was Able to Breach White House Security

The Secret Service is lucky this nut was not a suicide bomber because he could have blew up the White House considering how deep in the building he got:

WASHINGTON — The Secret Service response to an armed intruder who jumped the fence and raced into the White House was complicated by muted alarms and radios, thick bushes on the lawn, unlocked doors and an officer inside who was physically too small to tackle the intruder and fumbled with her equipment, according to the Homeland Security Department review of the case.
A summary of the government’s investigation, released Thursday night, revealed sensational new details about the Sept. 19 break-in at the White House by a disturbed Army veteran carrying a knife.
The government determined that lack of training, poor staffing decisions and communication problems contributed to the embarrassing failure that ultimately led to the resignation of the head of the Secret Service, Julia Pierson. The report disclosed Thursday did not specify any disciplinary actions. (Stars and Stripes)

You can read the rest at the link, but there was general buffoonery by both male and female agents stationed at the White House. It just makes me wonder what the standards are to be an agent now a days?
