Security Lapse? Really?

When two commoners, with no formal (terrorist/army) training, gate crash a party thrown by the POTUS, under the nose of the Secret Service, shake hands with the President, take photos with the Vice President, and then brag about it on their Facebook, it's time for us to realise that maybe we were a little harsh on our own (poor, deprived, low-tech) security forces for having "allowed" a trawler (among the approximate other 100,000 out at sea at the same time) to "sneak in" on our few thousand km long coastline!

Let's learn to be a little less critical of everything Indian...

Interestingly, the Secret Service initially claimed that even though the couple managed to sneak in, the POTUS was never in any danger. Until the White House released a photo of the couple not just being close to the POTUS, but actually talking and shaking hands with him.
