Additional layer of defense added to White House perimeter; Font choice questioned

Fox News’ Clayton Morris earlier today called the four-foot “Barrycades” set up in front of the 10-foot White House fence and secured with plastic twist ties “embarrassing.” Apparently White House security agreed, and tonight set up an additional layer of security: “Police Line: Do Not Cross” signs twist-tied to the outer fence.

@ryanjreilly oh yes, signs and a 3ft fence will definitely stop the bad guys

@BenPattersons suppose it could've been comic sans

@ryanjreilly Well as long as there is a little yellow sign on the little fence. That seems very…effective.

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