AZUZ: The original mission of the U.S. Secret
Service stopped counterfeit currency. It`s broadened quite a bit since 1865,
and an incident involving the government agency was the focus of a hearing
yesterday.
Five things to know about this, starting with security at the White House. There are five rings of that. Surveillance officers patrolling the outside fence, officers in guard boots, attack dogs to run down intruders, SWAT teams that can swarm if needed and uniformed guards at the doors.
That brings us to the second point, Secret Service officials say Omar Gonzales, a 42-year old veteran of the Iraq war got by all of the outside security measures on September 19. He allegedly jumped the fence and ran across the lawn to the door of the executive mansion.
He reportedly overpowered a Secret Service agent and got deep inside the White House before he was tackled and subdued by off-duty officers inside the building.
Gonzales was carrying a knife, President Obama had left the White House a few minutes beforehand.
Third point, originally, the Secret Service praised its officers for showing "tremendous restraint during the incident." At a hearing yesterday, one congressman said restraint isn`t what`s needed.

REP. JASON CHAFFETZ, (R) UTAH: If you project witness, it invites attack. We want to see overwhelming force. It a would be intruder cannot be stopped by a dog or intercepted by a person, perhaps more lethal forces necessary, and I want those Secret Service agents and officers to know, at least this member of Congress has their back. Don`t let somebody get close to the president. Don`t let somebody get close to his family. Don`t let them get into White House ever.

Fourth point, the president says he has full confidence in the Secret Service`s ability to prevent this in the future. Its director appeared in front of a congressional committee yesterday.

JULIA PIERSON, DIRECTOR, U.S. SERVICE: It`s clear that our security plan wasn`t properly executed. This is unacceptable and I take full responsibility, and I will make sure that it does not happen again.

AZUZ: Fifth point, this is not the first breach of security at the White House. There are fence jumpers every year, an invited civilian couple once crashed a state dinner. Gunshots hit the building, damaging it in 2011, but the agency has protected the president from an untold number of incidents, and Director Pierson says she`ll bring it up to a level of performance that matches its vital mission.
