Then came Saturday\u2019s attempt at the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner, when Cole Tomas Allen allegedly sprinted through the magnetometer with multiple weapons and shot a Secret Service officer en route to the International Ballroom as the event got underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plainclothes and uniformed officers positioned strategically in the Hilton Hotel\u2019s lobby would have dropped him cold before he ever reached the checkpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moreover, magnetometers should have been mandatory at the hotel\u2019s Connecticut Avenue entrance for the duration of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This 1,107-room Hilton \u2014 potentially packed with 2,000 or more guests and 2,500 attendees \u2014 required full choke-and-funnel screening: metal detectors, bag searches and ID checks for everyone, hotel guests included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even then, a second magnetometer checkpoint was essential outside the ballroom, with armed officers at the escalator base, staircases and throughout the lobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet such basic layered security measures were ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These attempts on Trump\u2019s life were not random acts of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the near misses were the predictable result of outdated thinking, weak technology, fragmented command and personnel who lack the elite training and battlefield mindset required for this threat level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After a lifetime spent building systems that close every micro-gap, I know what works: seamless integration of the best and brightest \u2014 former Delta Force, Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, top law enforcement \u2014 paired with world-class canines, counter-drone capability, rapid-response protocols and zero tolerance for slow gates or blind spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are running out of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We must immediately get smarter \u2014 demanding truly comprehensive, ironclad security built by top professionals \u2014 or we\u2019ll see attempts like these again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sooner or later, one will succeed, and someone will kill the president of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The American people deserve better. Trump does, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editor Note<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFive shots were fired but none hit allen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No details on who fired shots except at news conference it was said allen shot an officer with his shot gun?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No details about other shots fired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was said one ss or cop fired the other 4 shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a BIG LIE going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I listened to the playback of the ballroom sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can make out 5 rounds shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Five rounds from a gun. Not any sound from a shotgun blast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It sounds like five shots were fired from a hand gun only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4 missed allen and one hit a ss agent wearing a vest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At close range all the law enforcement could manage to do was shoot one of their own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Secret service and other law enforcement can’t protect the President or even shoot straight at near point blank range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Trump isn’t protected by the secret service as he should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time after time they fail to protect him properly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is by design and is NO accident!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They allow President Trump to be open to harm on purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The question is why does Trump allow this to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
