Police State USAWASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Secret Service is considering implementing pedestrian checkpoints and bag searches on sidewalks of the district outside the White House.
These warrantless “screenings” could take place several blocks away from the White House grounds, law enforcement officials told the New York Times.
The Times reported:
As part of the screening, the Secret Service would establish several checkpoints a few blocks from the White House, the officials said. The screening would likely be limited to bag checks and not include measures taken at airports by the Transportation Security Administration, which include metal detectors and body scans.
Along with giving Secret Service agents and uniformed Secret Service officers a chance to check for explosives and weapons in bags, the screening would allow them to interact with the visitors and try to identify those who may pose a problem, the officials said.
The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they did not want to be identified discussing a continuing investigation or security measures under consideration.
The clamoring for more security predictably comes after a man hopped the fence of the White House on Friday and was arrested. Despite the fact that the Secret Service easily detained the intruder, authorities understand that the best time to expand police power is while an security breach is fresh in the minds of the public.
“You never let a serious crisis go to waste,” President Barack Obama’s former Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel famously said in 2008. “And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”
Should this consideration be implemented, it would mean the normalization of checkpoints in the streets, potentially anywhere the president travels. What are Americans to believe about their individual rights, when the government so frequently demonstrates that security — especially the security of the elites — is the highest national priority?

And…..here we go:
First, create a problem:
The American people can come too close to the White House and can pose a serious threat to the criminals occupying it, so devise a plain to make it look like a crazed person got into the White House too easily.
Then, create a Reaction:
White House isn’t safe.
Finally, create a Solution:
Tighter security and more illegal searches blocks away from the White Castle, I mean the White House.
As I said before, this whole charade was to find out the White House’s weak points and enforce tighter security for the future.
After all, We the People can’t be too close to King Obama’s “restricted” Castle, when the SHTF now can we, even though it belongs to We the People and CANNOT be “restricted”.
Ring of tanks soon.
Yea, I can see a Tiananmen Square Part II. Only this time, We the People are armed.
i propose 3 options.
1: level the buildings, and fit a concrete cap – most of it is below ground anyway!
2: ask the u.k. for the mobile auschwitz it purchased to “protect” the recent NATO sumit – they want rid of it anyway!
3: ask IsraHell for that huge concrete wall – the u.s. paid for it anyway!
Who knows, maybe they are afraid ET will come and do this:
They can’t stop these guys and yet they shoot and kill a woman driving with her baby in the wrong area of town….. This is another BS story to militarize everything….. People have to stop putting up with this BS……
Yep. There may even be talk of hiring a third party security in addition to Secret Service now.
Just another problem-reaction-solution scenario.
Funny how Blackwater happens to be in the neighborhood lately and then this happens.
