Yeah, The Secret Service brought out the posse for this one!
Washington (AFP) - Authorities temporarily placed the White House on lockdown Monday after someone threw a metal object over the fence around the presidential mansion, officials said.
Reporters working at the White House said a woman had been arrested.
"An individual threw a metal object over the north fence line at the White House," the Secret Service said in a statement after the approximately three-hour lockdown ended.
"Secret Service uniformed division officers immediately apprehended the individual without incident."
Officials said they conducted "protective sweeps" of the object but determined it was not a threat. "The White House has returned to normal operations," the Secret Service said.
President Barack Obama had been attending a Memorial Day service at Arlington National Cemetery when the incident occurred.
While no mention was made as to what the “metal object” actually was, I have it on exclusive authority that this is the “metal object” they made all the fuss about:
Yeah, someone chucked a beer can over the White House fence. I understand that plans are in place to make the fence higher. My question is: “Why would you make it higher when you can just chuck it THROUGH the fence. I mean, it's not like it's a WALL or anything. Oh well, that's just me. What do I know?
To quote Glenn Reynolds of PJ Media: "Yes, our country is in the best of hands."
