Security at White House be like:
Overview
This meme opens with text at the top stating 'Security at White House be like:', above a still from a comedy film depicting a terminal security checkpoint. A uniformed male security guard is looking upwards, visibly distracted and not monitoring the checkpoint, while a woman in a plaid blazer walks directly past the screening area without being stopped or checked. Another man in a suit and cap is also entering the metal detector area without any visible oversight from the guard. The core joke uses the absurdly lax security depicted in the film scene to mock perceived incompetence or inattentiveness of White House security.
Origin notes
This meme was first shared on the Reddit r/Meme subreddit with the original poster title 'Na fr tho 😭'. The underlying image is a scene from the 1980 American parody comedy film Airplane!, which is famous for its slapstick, satirical humor. The meme repurposes this pre-existing film scene by adding a text overlay to joke about White House security, making it a derivative meme.
