[Kathryn]

Not to mention I dont' think there was
a warning before hand, as the only had
half the bullet proof glass up they
would have otherwise had, of course, if
the warning was credible, he wouldn't
have been there at all.

Which sort of makes the investigations of threats fairly pointless - most
serious assasins are not going to send the President a love note before hand
wrning him. It's up there with the questions you get from customs officials
- are you transporting anything illegal? Why yes I am, uh I mean no, of
course not officer .... What is the purpose of your visit to the country? I
was planning on blowing up the Houses of Parliament, be careful with the
blue bag please it's full of semtex ...

But yes alright I will admit it wasn't really within the Secret Service's
jurisdiction - but I doubt that argument would have been much comfort to
Shrub if he'd actually been blown up.
