After a couple of recent episodes where individuals scaled the existing 7.5-foot wrought iron fence surrounding the White House, those tasked with protecting the facility and its inhabitants added a whole new layer of security — a four-foot barricade held together with white plastic cable ties.
The added measure was widely reported, but the crack security team was not finished. To further ramp up security, police have added yellow signs that say: “Police Line, Do Not Cross.”
In all caps! No deranged lunatic would dare think of disobeying that.

Huffington Post reported Ryan J. Reilly — yes, the same reporter who can’t tell the difference between ear plugs and rubber bullets — tweeted a photo of the additional security measure being implemented:

As expected, that’s all it took to unleash a torrent of snark at a very serious problem. Here is a sampling of responses to Reilly:
@ryanjreilly oh yes, signs and a 3ft fence will definitely stop the bad guys

@ryanjreilly why the extra fence? Secret Service conceding the battle?

@ryanjreilly Am I alone in thinking they should just build a moat, maybe a few towers with pots of boiling oil?

@ryanjreilly A KeepOffGrass sign would probably have work better

@ryanjreilly @TH3R34LTRUTH that should slow down the 3 year olds.

@ryanjreilly Very disappointed the new White House signs don’t say “No Assassinations Allowed” and “This Area Off Limits to ALL Terrorists”.
