It is reasonable and instinctive to duck down into the seat if someone were shooting at you. I remember watching that film shown over and over the same day Kennedy was killed. I remember seeing one Secret Service waving her out of the car over the trunk, and as she scrambled out, another reaching for her and pushing her back into the car. Yes, security was not as streamlined as it is today. You can tell that by watching the chaotic scene of Ruby killing Oswald, which I saw live and was the first murder ever broadcast live on national television.

Yes, security was not as streamlined as it is today.

1. JFK refused to have the "security bubble" on the convertible. I don't know
how much it would have helped, but reflections might have made it tougher for
a sniper to make a good shot.

2. And I think I've heard that some of JFK's security detail hit the bars a bit
harder than was prudent the night of Nov. 21 and into some of the wee hours of Nov. 22.
(Of course, that may or may not have had any influence on the outcome.)

They were showing film of the assassination the day he was killed? The Zapruder film?
