agency whose job it is to protect the president, his family, and senior officials...

There is a monster circle that has grown over the years wherever the POTUS goes... of course they need to hire.

30 miles, and 3 miles for Plug-head.

“It doesn’t matter how many they hire. If someome is really determined and willing to sacrifice themselves anyone can be taken out.”

And that is exactly why they had to hire so many. I will bet Secret Service is having to make a lot of house calls these days to check out some internet chatter.

I guess this means that our “betters” are nervous about their safety. How can that be?

Just drop the bimbo and minority requirement and things will sort itself.

Don’t raise the standards. . .enforce the standards.

Actually, they are hiring because they simply have not hired enough for the past several year. This hiring “increase” is to bring the number of Agents back up to where it was before they started to focus only on hiring “minority” and bimbos.

Indeed, last year along they hired ONLY 75 new hires.

75.

They want nearly 7,000 employed by the Secret Service to protect the professional politicians, financial fraud and guard the white house?

I find this a bit hard believe.

Looking at the massive sprawling size of Los Angeles, LAPD has about 9,000 cops to secure and protect approximately 4,000,000 people? And that easily can go to 5,000,000 with visitors. And LAPD also provides dignitary security and has financial crimes divisions?

And now government scandals and corruption are plaguing the Secret Service, so the government's solution is to increase the size, increase spending, and their budgets?

This seems to be a revolving pattern with ever expanding government.
