the secret service is looking into its own security procedures after determining that a virginia couple, michaele and tareq salahi, managed to slip into（溜进） tuesday night's state dinner at the white house even though they were not on the guest list, agency spokesman ed donovan said.

president barack obama was never in any danger because the party crashers（不速之客） went through the same security screening for weapons as the 300-plus people actually invited to the dinner honoring indian prime minister manmohan singh, donovan said.

the salahis are well-known in the virginia horse-country set and were being considered for the bravo reality tv show real housewives of dc.

in an interview with the cbs early show in september, michaele salahi said, "president obama has made it very accessible（可得到的，易接近的） for anyone to visit the white house, so that's like a big thing right now."

the secret service learned about the security ⁴（裂口，违背） on wednesday after a media ⁵ prompted by the salahis' online boasts about having attended the private event, donovan said.

one of the many photos from the dinner posted on michaele salahi's facebook page shows the couple with a smiling ³ president joe biden. in other photos, they appear alone or together with white house chief of staff rahm emanuel, washington mayor adrian fenty, cbs news anchor katie couric and three marines in their dress ⁶.

the washington post said uninvited guests who got in could face a potential ⁷（侵入） charge unless someone from inside the white house staff slipped them in. donovan would not comment on possible legal ⁸.

"it's important to note that they went through all the security screenings - the magnetometer（磁力计） screening - just like all the other guests did," donovan said. and, he added, obama and others under secret service protection had their usual security details with them at the dinner.
