    Can't really see much, due to security... the "famous door" is quite far down and it's hard to see it, even standing at the edge of the fence looking down the street- at an angle

    Not quite as easy to see it as portrayed on television and movies. I am sure if you made loud noises and begin running, you would get an insiders view and a deportation asap.
