got me to thinking.
Imagine a dozen or so individuals jumping the fence simultaneously. Would the SS be prepared for that many people coming in hard and fast? I know they have officers and K-9's patrolling the grounds along with snipers on the roof, but what if those fence jumpers were all wearing suicide vests? Would a major explosion in the yard derail the contingency plans that the SS boys have in place? I'm assuming there are plans in place for this type of attack but seriously, just imagine the chaos of a dozen people jumping that fence all at once. Let alone half of them exploding half way to the White House. What about a second wave of attackers coming over the fence during the distractions of the first wave blowing up? What if a dozen explosive drones suddenly breached the airspace with the intent of flying into the White House doors and windows? I think this type of attack is completely feasible considering the public is allowed to come so close to the perimeter fence. I've never visited (bucket list), but by watching the news footage on FOX yesterday and today it appears the waist high barrier that the guy jumped and then scaled the 8 foot fence really didn't really slow him down. FOX was pointing out that all those spikes they put on top of the fence recently didn't really stop the guy. Ok hive, pick this apart... |

I heard they have little machine gun turrets that pop out of the grass in case of any "code reds".

Unless they storm a golf course, zero won't be there....... Or maybe a bath house

This is probably not a wise realm for speculation. 'cause many reasons.

I'm sure they have thought out every probability possible and even more that would be considered impossible. I posted this because FOX pointed out that the guy yesterday was the 7th incident of someone breaching the perimeter in the last 2 years. How could they defend against the scenario listed above? |

didn't they do a movie about that a couple of years ago?
I think it just took one guy with a pistol to kill all the bad guys didn't it? |

One thing I have learned in my short life of 35 years. If you want someone dead badly enough, it will happen. The target being so high profile and highly guarded is what will test the resolve of the perpetrator. Generally speaking neither party is going to come out alive

The WH may or may not have contingency plans.
It's the spirit of the officers utilizing those plans (The ROE so to speak) that make them effective. 7 fence jumpers in the last two years does not speak highly of a robust es·prit de corps and coherent ROE no matter what plan is on paper. Couple that with all the "moral" issues this current SS has had pop up in the news in the last 8 years and I think you have your answer. |

Has something happened to the friendly working relationship between Obama and ISIS that I don't know about?
Or are you talking about homegrown domestic terrorism? |

I would imagine the response we've seen for one guy jumping the fence is quite a bit different from what you would see if several came in together, and I'm sure while a handful of guys have their eyes on the fence jumper, the rest of the perimeter is being watched like a hawk.
ETA: Why tip your hand for one fence jumper? Measured response, keep them guessing. |

Several suicide bombers blow holes in the wall, the other pour through. View Quote If the attackers were motivated enough, it would be challenging to stop EVERY threat. Even with snipers picking off anyone coming through the gates... a few smoke grenades, a "diversion" on either side of the WH (ie breach one side first, then breach the second focusing your resources there) would probably allow attackers to get close enough to do some damage to the building - but I don't think suicide bombers on the front lawn could literally carry enough explosive to endanger the people inside? Anyway - everyone here is saying "of course they've thought of everything, it's what they do!" Yet 9/11 happened and we literally had no military planes in the air at the time (two F-16's had to be scrambled IIRC?); and Bengazi happened, plus every other scenario where someone in the .gov fucked up (but shouldn't have). Trusting the government to have it all figured out is exactly what most people here argue against every single day; so what makes this thought exercise any different? |

That's nothing. Imagine Al Quaeda buying every seat on a single flight. Good luck preventing that hijacking.

Would suck for the flight crew, but I would love to see AQ blow up a whole plane full of themselves at 30,000 feet. Just to be sure, they should infiltrate the flight crew as well as the pilots. |

Isn't that how ISIS took Ramadi. Several suicide trucks and cars hit all the checkpoint/bases at once while many gunmen stormed in right afterwards? I don't know if the SS would break and flee like the Iraqi Army did but it sure was effective, and thats not a house. That's a whole city.
But as someone said earlier probably not a great topic to discuss here. With all the FBHO posts and then this, prolly drawing a lot of unneeded attention. ETA- For any 3 letter agencies watching, I'm a-okay with Obama, we cool bro. |

IMHO the WH has long out-lived it's usefulness as the POTUS's residence. It should be turned in to a museum, the barricades removed, and the street reopened to traffic. The POTUS should reside on Mt. Weather, Virginia. It's hardened, secure, and close enough to DC for a POTUS to get there when they need to. |

The logistics of this are a lot harder than you make it sound.
First, you gotta find a dozen people willing to kill themselves for jihad that are off the radar enough to all get to DC in a coordinated, communicated manner... |
