While what you say is no doubt true, and not at all surprising, it still concerns me to hear of Secret Service agents gossiping this way. The safety of past, present and future presidents can easily be marginalized by their indiscretions. As much as most of us hate BJ and Hitlery, it would still be disasterous for this country if something happened to them as a result of a security breach.

Hmm - I guess I'll have to go back and read between the lines - I saw nothing that would constitute a security breach =

The fact that they are talking at all is a security concern. If the protectees begin to feel that everything they do might get blabbed by the Secret Service, they will start trying to hide things from the Secret Service and this makes them vulnerable.

This was a key issue made by the Secret Service when they tried to keep from testifying about Monica Lewinsky and in my opinion, was the only valid one.
