Perimeter Ground Alarm (North Lawn)
Low‑profile exterior intrusion sensors embedded around the North Lawn—flush metal housings and recessed plates set into the turf or paving. Each unit contains pressure/motion contacts and a small indicator light, wired to the White House security console. The devices announce a breach when tripped; agents reference their activation and security staff respond immediately, treating the triggered unit as the initial clue that an intruder crossed the grounds.

Significance
Serves as the inciting security cue that redirects official focus from a generic breach to a personal threat against Zoey, catalyzing the President's parental panic and prompting the rapid mobilization and accountability demanded in the Oval Office briefing.
