Secret Service Plans to Give White House Intruders Five More Feet of Fence to Climb

In a move that’s sure to spice things up for the building’s endless stream of intruders, the Secret Service has proposed almost doubling the height of the White House fence, from 6 feet tall to over 11, NBC News reports.

By 2018, the agency hopes to not only raise the fence and enforce its foundation, but also provide the president’s uninvited guests with an array of exciting new “anti-climb” features.

“The preliminary concept for the fence around the White House and grounds considers a taller and stronger fence that incorporates anti-climb and intrusion detection technology,” said the Secret Service in a statement, “while respecting the historical significance and visitor experience at the White House.”

Naturally, future president and wall fantasizer Donald Trump approves:

In a meeting with federal officials, Secret Service representative Tom Dougherty blamed America’s culture of jumping for necessitating the new fence.

“[The fence] is entirely scale-able, depending upon the circumstances,” said Dougherty, according to NBC News. “And we have now a society that tends to want to jump over the fence and onto the 18 acres.”
