Threats to the President
No matter what context it may be, the Secret Service always stands ready to neutralize any immediate threats to the president. One of the requirements of the job is that the members of the service always be ready to retaliate to any such suspected danger. They appear to many as simple bodyguards, as they dress well and tend to appear unarmed. However, the men who serve as part of the president’s security detail are well trained and can respond efficiently to any imminent danger.
