Day Of Humps, or Secret Service Follies
Oct. 1st, 2014 11:05 amYesterday afternoon was busy at work - we closed a branch and had to be out of the space by the end of the day. It was a small facility, rented and had few customers, so we were able to clear out with minimal hassle (I was the last guy out the door at 6:15) but still, I find myself slightly dragging today.
Secret Service Follies
Unless you've been under a rock, you've heard that some mentally-addled person jumped the White House fence and got into the building. The Usual Suspects are baying about "bad management" in the Secret Service. Here's the real fact - the only way to prevent this from happening is having a red line. Anybody gets past the red line they get sniped from the roof and/or shot from a guard.
Had that happened, had the Secret Service just shot the nut, those same Usual Suspects would be baying about "Imperial Presidency" and "oppression." In short, the Secret Service can't win the PR battle.
