With news president in office there ill with be kaiings at the white house of course one change outside of the executive mansion with goal to keep president and family safe. Fox5 bob barnard live at the white house to explain whats going on, bob . Were talking about fencing to secure the white house grounds. There are temporary barricades here and other chain link fencing and iron fence is going all the way around the commission of fine arts has given approval to design that will meet final approval for National Capitol Planning Commission next month and eventually over the next couple years fence around the white house could be replaced. It will become 11 feet 7 tall currently 7 feet tall and new anticlimb and what they call intrusion Detection Technology and pickets wider and stronger but more space to part around the white house grounds and this is all because of recent incidents over the past few years including that one that shocked everyone back in september 204 when Omar Gonzalez was able to not only scale the fence cross the north lawn and get inside the white house with knife. This is right after obamas left white house. Had he was app helped in the east room. But again this man had a knife. That was one of several cases where people have been able to jump fence in recent years. So secret service and National Park service were working together with these different commissions to get a new fence designed and this new fence eventually in next couple years around the white house to make it more difficult for people to scale it and get on the property. I want so though you this is freshry department where the fencing is only five feet tall and new pepsing will only around the Treasury Department but Eisenhower Executive Office building as well all the grounds here just to make it more difficult for people who want to do whatever they want to do approach president first family or building and make it harder for them to do that guys.
