Report flags security gaps at WHCD after shooting scare
The rescheduled White House Correspondents' Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria faced new security concerns despite reduced attendance from 2,600 to 700 and TSA-style screening.
The Mirror US reported that security relied heavily on digital passes, creating problems if a guest's phone battery died or QR code was inaccessible before entry.
The report also flagged a lack of visible protective barriers around the main table where President Trump and senior officials were seated.
At the April WHCD, a Fox News journalist noted attendees could enter with a simple cardstock ticket without ID checks or metal detectors.
The April assassination attempt on Donald Trump intensified scrutiny of protection protocols at high-profile events.
