I have three guesses on how and why the SS is involved...

One is that some of them live in this specific area and have kids and are concerned. Moonlighting, as it were.

The second is the more logical one - the SS has tremendous knowledge about the art of sniping - they have to protect POTUS and others. I think they are helping with the psych profile and the forensics and the observation.

Based on what's been said to date about the profiling , I would guess they have narrowed the sniper's home location to a 5 to 10 square mile area. The SS knows how to observe from high places, and may be deployed in the target area to try to see the vehicle before it reaches its destination.

Too many guesses...

Your reply makes a lot of sense.

Your thoughts about why the President's bodyguards would enter the hunt for the sniper sound right. Good post.
