Based on the hassle of entering the White House Gift Shop, god only knows what the process is to enter the actual White House on a tour (if they're still provided).

A few of us went on a White House tour when we were in DC for the Freddies a few months ago. The security was about as you described it, rather quick and simple. Of course, we all had to supply our names and SSN a week in advance so they knew who we were before we even got there. I didn't notice a gift shop.
