I presume this extends to protests at the White House.

JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMI1TEE OF CONFERENCE

Section 602. Interference with national special security events
Section 602 of the conference report is a new section. 18
U.S.C. Sec. 1752 authorizes the Secret Service to charge
individuals who breach established security perimeters or
engage in other disruptive or potentially dangerous conduct
at National Special Security Events (NSSEs) if a Secret
Service protectee is attending the designated event. Section
602 of the conference report expands 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1752 to
criminalize such security breaches at NSSEs that occur when
the Secret Service protectee is not in attendance.
Additionally, it doubles the statutory penalties (from 6
months to 1 year) for violations of Sec. 1752, to make the
penalty consistent with the prescribed penalty under 18
U.S.C. Sec. 3056(d) (interference with Secret Service law
enforcement personnel generally). The conference report makes
punishable by up to 10 years the thwarting of security
procedures by individuals in possession of dangerous or
deadly weapons.



Section 603. False credentials to national special security events
Section 603 of the conference report is a new section. This
section amends 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1028 to make it a Federal crime
to knowingly produce, possess, or transfer a false
identification document that could be used to gain unlawful
and unauthorized access to any restricted area of a building
or grounds in conjunction with a NSSE. Such actions were a
problem during the 2002 Winter Olympics, and the conference
report will allow for Federal prosecution against such
criminal violations at future NSSEs.
