How secure is the White House?

Not very if you read this story. Any US President – but especially the first black one and a man I admire so much – needs much better protection than this at the building that is his home and office.

It makes a couple of recent Hollywood action movies look a little less unlikely than first appeared. I refer to “Olympus Has Fallen” [my review here] and “White House Down”. [my review here].

I have been to the White House twice on public tours – but that was in the olden days when anyone could visit and terrorism was not the scourge it is today.
