Stopping fence jumpers at the Executive Residence is not rocket science, but good shoe-leather policing.  A sufficient number of cops should be walking the perimeter beat at all hours, so that no portion of the fence is not under scrutiny by a pair of human eyes.  The Uniformed Division of the Secret Service comprises 1300 officers -- surely, assigning foot patrols would not present an excessive demand on their staff power.  It is shameful that the citizens are not allowed to view the People's House from the adjacent sidewalk.  This is not Moscow, and the White House is not the Kremlin, at least not yet.
