4. Post-Mortem Notes
REGRESSION: Physical security protocols at secondary residences failed during what was identified as a period of "increased security concerns" for the administration.KNOWN_ISSUE: `VP_Location_Tracking_Service` exhibited intermittent `UNKNOWN` status, leading to gaps in immediate actionable intelligence regarding principal safety.WORKAROUND: Temporary traffic control and restricted access zones were rapidly implemented. This is a reactive measure, not a preventative solution.FIXED: One suspect taken into custody. Root cause of breach and potential motivations still under investigation.TODO: Review "increased security concerns" logic. Does the current implementation adequately protect assets when principals are *not* co-located, especially after high-level foreign policy discussions?ASSUMPTION_FAILURE: Premise that high-level foreign policy strategy (e.g., Venezuela strikes) would not escalate domestic, localized threat vectors against senior personnel residences.IMPACT: Public confidence in "security protocols" likely degraded. Media sentiment analysis pending.
