WHAT NEXT? STREAKERS?

Another day, anotheruninvited guest at the White House. In front of a crowd of amazed tourists, Andrew Jopling hoisted himself over the White House fence, apparently as a prank. Jopling was immediately swarmed by Secret Service agents and taken into custody. Although recent incidents such as the Oklahoma City bombing have increased security concerns,TIME Washington contributing editor Hugh Sideysays that people have been jumping over the fence for, well, generations. "People were doing this back when Lyndon Johnson was President," he says. "The White House is a world stage."
