Taking a cue from Game of Thrones, the Secret Service is hoping that more sharp metal atop the White House fence will keep all those pesky jumpers out. Or at least make it more painful for them to try.

On Thursday, the National Capital Planning Commission’s approved “temporary security enhancements,” which amounts to a second layer of steel spikes on top of the fences in front and back of the White House.

The new “pencil points” will stick out at an angle from the current single layer of spikes, and the plans call for them to be installed using a “a reversible, bolt-on method.” They will be installed in July.

The new measures also include replacing concrete barriers at vehicle check points with temporary pop-up barriers.

“These temporary improvements will address the recent incidents involving individuals scaling the fence while a permanent solution to the fence is studied by NPS and USSS,” the proposal reads.

Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton lauded the steps in a press release and said that she was ensured that the permanent solution won’t bar visitors from the front of the White House. “The temporary spikes on the top of the front White House fence will go a long way to enhance security at the same time that they do not mar the historic view of the White House, and the pop-up barriers at vehicle checkpoints on E Street NW are a vast aesthetic improvement over the existing concrete barriers,” Norton said.

She also promised to fight to get rid of the lower secondary barriers (the ones that look like bicycle racks) that were installed after a jumper not only made it over the fence, but through the White House front door and ran round the first floor.

“When the temporary spikes are in place on top of the fence, there should be no need for the unsightly bike racks that currently surround the fence that significantly deface views of the White House, and I will insist that they be removed,” Norton said.

You go, girl.
