Photos: Is the White House that porous these days? Another intruder jumps the fence

Just how easy is easy to get into the White House nowadays? Apparently, it's as simple as jumping the fence.
The Secret Service is under intense scrutiny after an intruder simply hopped a security fence at the White House, sparking an evacuation — and outrageously made it inside the Executive Mansion before being tackled by federal agents.
Parts of the White House were evacuated after the intruder was spotted charging toward the northern entrance over a lawn, minutes after Barack Obama and his family left by helicopter.
The Secret Service said it was holding Omar J. Gonzalez, a 42-year-old Texan from Copperas Cove, in connection with the attempt. 
President Barack Obama and his daughters had just departed the White House when the incident broke out. 
For the Secret Service, the breach was a devastating episode that prompted fresh questions about the storied agency and its ability to protect the president.
This is the second time this month as an intruder was also caught on 9/11 remember? If you don't, then click HERE.
