I remember that a college student got quite an interrogation for saying that Jesus should smite Bush. Clearly the Secret Service isn't secular.

At least the Secret Service admitted they can recognize satire...

The Secret Service takes its job seriously.  Even joking about something so serious as assassinating, assaulting, or kidnapping the President or members of his family can draw its attention. People who talk about killing the President while drunk in a bar in St. Joseph, Missouri might find themselves getting harsh questions and a hard lecture from the Secret Service if the President is going to appear in Kansas City, Omaha, Lincoln, Des Moines, Topeka, or maybe St. Louis.  All it takes for the assassination of the President is an angry person, a firearm, and access... let us say to a very open speech by the President.

Maybe the Secret Service discovers that "it's the liquor talking"... but that takes some time to clear. It is surely a rough time.

Vulnerability to liquor and sexual indiscretion is so commonplace that one almost has to excuse those who fall... unless there is a conflict of interest or there are dangerous consequences.

These guys are all about preventing dangerous consequences.  They have to get it right 100% of the time or it's a big effing problem.

A secret service agent was found drunk in a hotel room in The Netherlands shortly before President Obama's visit to the country this past week. He and his two partners have been sent back to the United States.


The Secret Service has been struggling with it's reputation since a 2012 incident in Cartnega, Colombia where thirteen members of the Secret Service were accused of sleeping with locals.
