re: #46 Occasional Reader
I’ve never given this much thought, but the “sniper” potential has to be the easiest threat to anticipate —especially since 1963. The biggest threat and the one hardest to guard against is the “determined man” scenario- an assassin who does not fear getting caught/killed. I have to think the USSS has more concern with the POTUS moving though a crowd rather than being shot at while speaking.
