  2. I have to admit, I couldn't figure out what this had to do with the Secret Service -- but as for the rest -- well, wait, isn't that actually the way it WAS?

  3. Absolutely nothing to do with the topic...just thought you might like the link.

    Can't really comment on the Secret Service stuff...just seemed to me to be awfully "full metal jacket". Typical overtraining of an elite unit.
