President Barack Obama was not in danger since the party crashers undergone the same security screening– the magnetometer screening, for weapons as the 300-plus people actually invited to the dinner, in honor of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

Salahis were well-known in the Virginia horse-country set. They were part of the cast of a reality show called “The Real Housewives of DC”.

The Secret Service learned about the security breach Wednesday, after a media inquiry prompted by the Salahis’ online boasts about having attended the private event, sources said.
