Agreed it doesn't need to be that way but like... the Limo that transports the president has all these details that make it very secure. But to the naked eye it looks like a normal limo. I think a lot of us assumed that there were hidden details that made the buildings on The Mall more secure than your average 200 year old building.

I don't really care if you didn't ran the door of the hinges, you sure used the situation to your advantage. And how about an upgrade from the 90s video technology while you have that wallet out.
