10 Crazy And Amazing Security Features Of The White House

The United States, is the strongest political Nation in the world, and its center is the White House. So, the security has also been strengthened after the 2nd world war in order to combat the risk of attack on it. The security of the White House was strengthened in a way that is beyond imagination.

Here are 10 security features of the White House:

1. Strong Windows






Often, thieves are seen coming in from windows. And many windows are present in the president's room, which not only allows the light to come in, but also gives the attackers a chance. In such a situation, the president can be in great danger. For this reason, the security vice president has made windows with ballistic glass which looks common but is much stronger. This is bullet-proof too and costs approximately $95 per foot.
2. Drones







Once, an employee was experimenting with his drone after finishing work. He flew the drone across the white House, and it was not even noticed by the security system. But when it landed on the grass, a lot of alarms started, which were wrong. This showed that a drone is somewhat weak in detecting. Due to this, the president installed his own drones near the White House, to keep an eye on everyone with security cameras. They identify and destroy other drones coming from elsewhere. It also has a special quality called Geo-fencing, in which, if the drone goes into an unrecognized area, then it can be recalled immediately from there.
3. Laser Web






As I told you already, that when the drone landed on the ground, many alarms started buzzing, this happened because the lawn of the White House also has Infrared Sensors. And the laser protectors installed here, keeps moving in different patterns all the time, which is very difficult to avoid. Because of this, someone sneaking secretly will easily be seen by anyone. If these alarms sound, the S.W.A.T Team and the guard dogs on the roof will all come to the entrance and will eliminate the problem before anyone finds out.
4. Secret Agents






They are normally seen in black suit with glasses. But they can do their job well by living like ordinary people. White House has 1200 secret agents, who work 24/7. And at the same time, they had carried out many of Washington DC's missions. Along with this, there are 2800 other agents in the area. Many of these are being formed for emergency response, and while hiding in public, whenever there is a problem, they suddenly start working. Before any unknown person reaches there, they reach the place, chasing people in that area.
5. No Fly Zone






On 17 Feb. 1974, US Army private named Robert Preston landed a helicopter in the White House. After 20 years, a plane collided with this monument and crashed. It was due to this incident that it was declared a "No Fly Zone". If any pilot flies a plane over it, he will get a hard warning. If the does not listen to that warning, then the consequences can be quite terrible. Now this is because, many Missile Systems are installed here, which destroys any unknown plane coming nearby. An whenever there is an air intrusion, these systems become active and for this reason, flying plane over the White House is strictly prohibited.
6. The Fence






The fence of the White House was built in 1801, which protected the property. It has many security features. Its top part is not only full of thorns, but it also has a pressure feature. So if anyone touches it, you will know. It is made of steel and is 11 feet high.
7. Belgian Malionis






These dogs has been in use since 1975. And there is no doubt that it is capable of injuring any intruder. They are also smart and very powerful. So they are perfect for security. They have a speed of 45km/hr which can attack anyone like a speed bullet. The view of these dogs is up 270⁰, due to which they are also used in the army. These dogs were part of the team that killed Osama Bin Laden.
8. Tourism Security And Food Testers






After such a security, a strange thing is that the general public can also come here to roam. But even the full safety of the president is ensured. An application has to be submitted 21 days before roaming there, after which the applicant is monitored for 21 days.




Also, as you all know, the food tester first checks the president's food to see if there is any defect or danger in it. Later it is given to the president.
9. Secret Bunker






A Bunker has been created to protect the president, which is believed to have been secretly built in 2010. These bunkers protect the president. And you should know that a central bunker is already in place to protect the president, in which the president can stay safe.
10. Concrete Barriers





In the security of the White House, extremely strong concrete barriers have been installed, so that if a high speed truck collides, then the truck itself will suffer. Breaking the barriers will not be possible, so entering the White House with a truck or car is Impossible, especially when they are trying to break this barrier.
