White House Gate Crashers

I believe there is more to this than just the Secret Service messing up. I would bet that someone in the Secret Service brought this to someone's attention and was over ruled and told to let them in. The Secret Service does this too often for them to just let anyone in. There are too many checkpoints.

Let's just see who covers their butt and makes the Secret Service the fall guy.

This is what I'm thinking.

I have been to the White House twice, and both times, my name was provided to them ahead of time, and a background check was performed. I was IDed, and my name was checked against a list before entering. There is so much checking and re-checking before anyone is even allowed to think about entering the White House. So why did the Secret Service just let them in?

Personally, I don't think they missed anything.
