17th Street Truck Ban

Washington Post

They're lying to you.

My guess would be it's the SS that is the one misleading. They already have a reputation for insane security precautions. And they currently have a president who demands more security than any in history.

The White House is already secure from any reasonable truck bombs. From t he front and back of the White House, you can approach no closer than the rough equivalent of 2 city blocks. And to each side are building so massive that they easily dwarf many times over the 300 unit apartment building in which I live. Buildings so large they would absorb the largest truck bombs I have ever seen.

They lie.

Now ask why.
