Ammunition, explosives, firearms and selfie sticks will be banned at Papal events in Washington. That’s right, the Secret Service is in charge of securing one of the most high-profile people in the world and it’s the elongated selfie accessory that is keeping them up at night.

Being designated as a National Special Security Event by the Department of Homeland Security, visitors to events and activities planned for Pope Francis’ visit to the capital will have to comply with a lengthy list of security and transportation restrictions, including a ban on the beloved and behated selfie stick.

So, how long before jokes begin about how selfie sticks were created by the devil and anyone using them will go to hell?

A man was detained an hour ago by uniformed personnel of the Secret Service, who marched him into a police car, and Lafayette Park on the north side of the presidential building was completely locked down.

The aerial device did not make it over the fence.

President Barack Obama is currently at Camp David, so he was not in the White House when the event took place.
