[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 1304198, member: 7157"] It's unfortunate the Secret Service couldn't complete the background check in time to admit Mr. Norris and the Baker family, but it sounds as if the visitors changed the plan after the arrangements had already been made for a tour of the East Wing. Knowing a bit of how the gov't operates, I have to side with the SS on this one; being a MH winner or family member of such a winner (by the way, it's not "Congressional" Medal of Honor - those journalists need to get that right) doesn't give one a free pass to waltz into a restricted area. I realize the kid was honoring his relative with his t-shirt, but the West Wing is a highly visible area of the White House; how would it look on the international scene if there was film footage of a kid wandering around the Oval Office in a t-shirt? What's next, wife-beater shirts and pants on the ground? Unfortunate situation, but I can't find fault with the SS or the dress code. [/QUOTE]
