US-POLITICS-SECURITY-WHITEHOUSE

A member of the US Secret Service Uniformed Division patrols in front of the White House in Washington on October 25, 2014. For once, the debate gripping Washington is not about party politics. It's about the White House fence. Is it high enough? Should it be electrified? Are tourists allowed to get too close to the building? After a series of security lapses that raised questions about the safety of the US president, do authorities need to change or reconsider the fence surrounding the First Family's residence in the heart of the city? But the spectacular breach that saw an Iraq war veteran sprint across the White House lawn in mid-September and enter the building with a knife in his pocket has rattled the US Secret Service, which is tasked with protecting the president.
