Summary

The Secret Service announced it would conduct a routine active threat exercise at the White House.

Why This Score

This is a routine, pre-announced Secret Service training exercise with zero constitutional impact. No mechanism specified (null), no drivers activated. A-score=0 as this is standard operational security protocol with no policy, legal, or institutional implications. B-score=1.65 from minimal outrage potential and media coverage of 'active threat' language, but far below threshold. Classic noise: routine government operations that generate brief attention due to security-related terminology but have no substantive constitutional or distraction significance.

IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING

Ignore. Routine security training exercises are standard government operations. Monitor only if exercise is used as pretext for policy changes or if 'routine' claim is contradicted by unusual circumstances.
