So, the guy with the gun in the elevator with Obama was, apparently, a security guard who had a criminal background. Doesn't THAT give ya the warm fuzzies? And, supposedly, the only reason they discovered this was because the guy wouldn't stop taking pictures, and he annoyed the secret service guys. Other than that, Mrs Lincoln.....

Well the good news is that if Obama turns out to be the anti-christ totalitarian dictator after all, he won't last long with his security detail.

Oh, this is soooo yesterday's news. Now they found a guy with a gun who was in the elevator with the President...
You can't make this stuff up!

And that's no problem at all... "panic hardware" is available for any door, and opens at the push from inside, while being securely locked from outside. The idea that they would have to "fumble with a key" is silly, for the very "fire codes" you mention.... "the opening of the door from the inside shall not require the use of a key".
And the fire codes I referenced specify that doors open outward (so people can get out). Still an issue if the problem is getting in - though not as bad as a commercial door would be.

It's easy to figure out how to break into the white house. Just watch an episode of 24 and see how Jack Bauer does it.

White House LACK of Security
I should have titled this thread what I titled this post.... [bolding mine]

When asked "what percentage of the time have you advised the President of incidents where his safety was in jeopardy, she replied, after stammering a bit, "100%". Asked for the NUMBER of times she advised him, she said "one". There have been at least THREE incidents in 2014 - the year in question - so her answer is wrong by a factor of idiot or liar.

Yet ANOTHER example of an incredibly inept community organizer appointing an incredibly inept individual to a very important post. Will she be fired?

but more to the point, they all open outward (necessarily so - fire codes and with good reason).
That's great if you're coming out - not so great if you're trying to herd the President back in before he gets hurt...
Hey, you never know about those religious zealots...
