LOL
No pics, or a
Saiger video?
How are we to take you serious?
That is up to you.
Now concerning the events that led up to entering the West Wing. Chris Howell explains it on a Facebook post this way: "They (The White House) perform a very thorough FBI background check on everybody. It's a requirement that each person be a US citizen who was born here in this country. The Secret Service police also perform very thorough vehicle searches, including using dogs to sniff for explosives and other hazardous materials. It's quite a process to get in. But I've been working there since 2001 and I'm pretty much used to it."
While I witnessed the vehicle searches, I might add while inside the first gates, but before the next set of gates to the property where the White House is, we were all searched with a handheld device similar to the ones used at the airport. But only after we emptied our pockets.
Once the crew of 6 entered the West Wing off the parking lot, we were greeted by armed staff managing the entrance desk. We were asked to give up all phones and any other electrical devices before entering The Situation Room directly off that same entrance hall. We were told that we were not permitted to take pictures in that shorter West Wing entrance hall or The Situation Room at any time.
Sorry no pictures. Just a memorable adventure that a Mikey's Board member had to finish off 2015.
