The White House is upgrading its front door to fortify the entrance
Source: CNN
The White House is making security-focused upgrades to its front door, an official told CNN, in a project thats expected to take months.
The changes, which sources said have long been advocated by the US Secret Service, are aimed at fortifying the White House entrance at the North Portico, which has recently been obscured by scaffolding and a tarp as workers repair the exterior columns at President Donald Trumps request.
But unlike many of Trumps projects around the White House from hanging gold signage to paving the Rose Garden the work on the front door is not cosmetic, and instead focused on enhancing its security, the White House official said.
The US Secret Service did not immediately respond to CNNs request for comment.

Some security updates may be designed to keep him in, not just kerp intruders out.

(5,363 posts)That if some (unknown party or political entity or foreign government) decides to get you - they might not just plan to use the front door, but they also might consider the back door, or a window or two, or just possible someone in your inner circle. Remember Julius Caesar, it was his dear friends. Leaders that are all powerful as you like to equate yourself, need to fear their enemies but their friends more.

But lets just grift off the Main Entrance, while we can before the (D) take over congress.
