I have seen the President's cars pass my home several times as they have been on the way to elsewhere to beg for money.
#1 In your neighborhood suddenly a lot of people you don't know show up all over the place jogging and hang out.
#2 Cell phones are disrupted and as the Presidential motorcade goes by there is always one car with what looks like a giant thimble on top which IMO blocks all transmissions as he passes.
I think the concern is that someone might throw a backpack or suitcase with something dangerous and hit a trigger to blow people up as they drive by.
It is IMO dangerous being President. I think the secret service does their job and as much as one may love one President and dislike another, none of us really want harm to come to anyone in the office of the President. The protectors IMO have a rough job.
Not many people know a guy tried to shoot Andy Jackson twice. Both his pistols misfired.
Jackson, being the guy he was, then beat the tar out of the assassin with his cane.
Don’t forget that thimble could be a high tech antenna for instant communication. Especially with the nuclear football aboard.
In 30 years as a manager in nice hotels we’ve had presidents there. Secret Service let me look inside the limo once. And it was usually a fundraiser.

Can't be easy protecting Michelle and protecting Hillary.
Man, whoever got the short straw on these jobs - I just feel really badly for these guardians.
