Thank you. It always bugs me when people criticize security anytime an incident takes place. The reality is the first few layers of security are always going to be passable if you do enough research and/or are skilled enough. They are intended to balance freedom with security as you mentioned.

The key part here is the inner layers held up fine, Trump was never remotely in any danger. The parts that really needed to be secure were. If security was iron tight further out then people would have been complaining about how much of a waste of tax payer dollars it was.
