Looks like the United States isn't the only country that has security problems at its embassies:

A group of Tibetans on Friday barged into the high-security Chinese Embassy, agitating against the crackdown on pro-independence protesters in Lhasa by Chinese authorities.

Waving the Tibetan flag and draped in banners carrying anti-China messages such as "Boycott Beijing Olympics," about 20 Tibetan students, including some women, scaled the walls of the embassy in the high-security Chanakyapuri area, taking the security personnel by surprise.
