People Gatecrashers State Security White Tv Real Michaele

Probably the most "infamous" (famous for doing something bad or wrong) gatecrashers "in recent history" (in the past few years) are Michaele and Tareq Salahi. They are a married couple from the state of Virginia who attended a "state dinner" (an official meal organized for the leaders of two or more countries to meet) at the "White House" (the home and offices of the U.S. President) without an invitation.

The state dinner was held on November 24, 2009 for Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. "Somehow" (without being able to explain the reasons) the Salahis were able to "pass through" (walk through or past) the "security checkpoints" (places where security guards stop unauthorized people from entering and authorized people from bringing prohibited items) to enter the White House, where they met President Obama, Prime Minister Singh, and other "high-profile" (important and well-known) politicians and businesspeople.

At the time, Michaele Salahi was being "filmed" (recorded on video) for a "reality TV show" (a show recording the actions of real people in their real lives, not actors) called The Real Housewives of Washington, D.C. Many people believe she and her husband crashed the state dinner because they wanted to "raise the profile" (become more well-known) of themselves and the TV show.

The White House and the "media" (newspapers, news TV shows, reporters, etc.) were "shocked" (very surprised) that the Salahis had been able to pass through the security checkpoints. Since that time, they have "cracked down on" (become more strict and more serious about) security and their efforts to "prevent" (not let something happen) other gatecrashers from attending official White House events without invitations.
