A spiraling prostitution scandal that has highlighted the dearth of women in the agency that protects the president and dignitaries has many wondering: Would more females in the ranks prevent future dishonor?</p><p>Only about a tenth of field agents and uniformed officers are women, a shortage some attribute to travel demands that can be especially taxing on women balancing families and careers. A scandal that risks portraying the agency as unfriendly to women, however, could set back efforts to close the gender gap.</p><p>"I can't help but think that there would be some progress if there was more diversity and if there were more women that were there," said Rep.

Quick: hire Sandra Fluke as a Secret Service Escort Service provider and a whole bunch of her Georgetown sisters. Unlimited orgasms and Uncle pays you for them. Bonus feature is agents go to work with smiles on their faces.
