3. The White House May Need A Bigger Fence
There have been a few Secret Service blunders over the years, which have involved people actually breaking into the White House without being stopped by security. That’s why The Atlantic published a piece in 2014 entitled, The White House Needs a Bigger Fence. An independent panel actually made this recommendation after there were several security breaches at or near the White House. The current fence is 7 and a half feet tall, and surrounds the 18 acre perimeter of the property. In summer 2015, spikes were installed on the fence as a deterrent to keep unauthorized personnel out of the president’s house.
