A Florida Republican brought a prop to illustrate his point during Tuesday’s hearing on the Sept. 19 security breach at the White House.

After asking about broken glass following a 2011 shooting at the White House, Rep. John L. Mica held up a the blue shield of ADT Security Systems and asked, “Have you ever heard of these guys?”

The congressman plugged ADT as a solution for the 2011 incident, when a window broken by a bullet went undiscovered for at least three days.
