For fun and to waste some time, I went to the Secret Service website for a quick perusal. Then I clicked on a link to the Department of Homeland Security and got the following warning:

Nice. Great to see some accountability in government.

I wonder who authorized this. If it was the Center itself, they are just plain dumb. If it was Obama who requested it, I will seriously reconsider my support for his candidacy. I'm not kidding.
I emailed the campaign the last time this was reported - they didn't respond with an answer. I will send another message, because I find it odd that this is the second time the TSA was caught trying out their security 'skills' at an Obama event.

I don't think the Service hires agents who can't spot a bomb unless it's a big ball with Acme stenciled on it.

I resent the idea of DHS assigning their TSA cronies to do whatever the agency sees fit. IMO, They are setting a dangerous precedent.
Nothing this worthless agency does surprises me...

And I bet they weren't requiring people to remove their shoes or turn over their shampoo, were they?
