[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does Sidwell prevent intruders? Did the Secret Service attend Sidwell with the kids? [/quote]

Secret Service attended with Amy too, but the amount of Secret Service support is higher now.

Sidwell and SAES both have schools with larger campuses where playgrounds and playing fields are more interior and further from the street, rather than separated from the sidewalk by a chain link fence.  They aren't surrounded by taller buildings where a sniper could get access.  Sidwell, at least, has drop off/pick up on a driveway that's more to the center of campus where access can be controlled.

Both schools also have control of who enrolls.  A terrorist can't just rent an apartment in bounds with the plan of enrolling their own kid to get access to the campus.

I wouldn't want my own kid on an unsecurable playground with a kid who could attract the attention of a sniper, or someone who wants to drive through the perimeter fence in an SUV with a bomb.  [/quote]
