The Secret Service is facing a "grave" threat to President Trump from a new wave of high-tech weapons including armed drones, plastic guns made on 3-D printers and even sophisticated IEDs, according to a new alert issued by a former agent.
"This threat is grave," Dan Bongino told Secrets. The author of a new book on the Secret Service that calls for a seismic change of thinking at the agency, Bongino said terrorists are eager to unleash an attack on their "ultimate prize."
New age threats include weaponized drones delivered in "swarms" that could attack the White House or any place the president is. The problem, he explained, is that the agency's agents and Uniformed Division are trained mostly to stop ground attacks.
"Distractions from the sky, whether planes or drones, create additional security complications for an obvious reason: Secret Service agents and officers cannot fly," he warned in Protecting the President.....

Is he talking about Antifa or NFL players?
He may have been thinking of the media.
LOL.
Is he expressing professional concerns or dropping hints?
That’s true. They usually just publish maps and instructions though.
I can play that game too!
Trump gets cacked, look out below
As far as the authors fear of 3D Printed guns... It tends to demonstrate a lack of credibility on every other issue mentioned. 3D Printed guns are basically all inferior to every other type of firearm. A utility knife from a dollar store would most likely be much more dangerous in the hands of a trained terrorist than a 3D Printed gun.
I would think that nearly any drone or swarm of drones being guided toward the president could be disabled merely by activating some type of broad spectrum electronic interference. So it would probably take a very advanced drone to overcome that type of simple defense.
Personal CIWS.
All these threats are nothing new but what is new is the degree of anger against this president and the widespread support for his removal by any means. I’m quite surprised that there haven’t any serious attempts on his life already.
They better protect our President and his family or there will be heck to pay!
There have. His protective force is ready and more than capable.
“A utility knife from a dollar store would most likely be much more dangerous in the hands of a trained terrorist than a 3D Printed gun.”
There are 3D printed gun designs capable of 6-8 shots semiautomatically and accurately hitting a man at 10-20ft. They have brought them down to be the same size as a metal handgun.
There used to videos of some being tested but I now see they were all taken down. The government also has shut several sites down that host them
“Personal CIWS.”
Three days out of every month I’d be a pretty effective CIWS!!!
9/11 weapons were brute strength,box cutters and pepper spray. They in turn made the jets missiles. 19 terrorists brought a country of 360 million with the most powerful military on the planet down to its knees.
Now that is very cool.
Yours?
I have a 3d printer. I have designed and printed quite a few useful and neat items and printed many other items designed by others. My printer is customizable and capable; I have printed quite a few different types of materials. I also reload my own cartridges and cast my own bullets.
I have followed this subject fairly closely. There are useful parts that could be printed by my printer, but not the whole gun. And manufacturers use special “printers” to produce some metal parts for certain firearms. But I am aware of no designs or videos of anyone printing a semi-auto 3D printed gun with a typical 3D Printer such as the one that I own. I think that you are mistaken.
I certainly wouldn't fire one shot from a plastic gun that was completely printed on a 3-D Printer. I wouldn't necessarily be afraid to fire a homemade gun made from materials purchased from Home Depot.
Bring it!! What’s the hold-up, you cowards!
