As is always usual in these cases the bosses get promotions!
Never, EVER went to a savory bar in my life ... never.
The Secret Service will have chaperones? That’s gonna put a crimp in the old prom.
Common sense and integrity is not something you train for... you either have it or you don’t.
Common sense is defined by Merriam-Webster as, “sound and prudent judgment based on a simple perception of the situation or facts.”
Perhaps it’s just me, but I would have thought that might have been a job prerequisite.
“The new behavior policies apply to Secret Service agents even when they are off duty while traveling, barring them from drinking alcohol within 10 hours of working...”
That should solve everything and protect the president. As a secret service mercenary in the gig for fat weekly paychecks and a huge retirement bonus, I can hit the bimbo bars from 4 pm until 10 pm, get drunk on my azz and report for duty at 8am.
Back when Barry was on his Canadian built bus tour last summer, one of his SS guys got an off-duty OWI bust in Decorah, Iowa...
ONLY THEORIZING HERE: If al Qaeda or al Shabaab or Abu Sayyef were brilliant, they would now, outside of safe houses if under observation, have their operational planning sessions in VIP rooms, etc. in sordid strip joints and seedy whorehouses then, throughout Asia and Europe, Africa, Latin America (which they do anyways--i.e. the 19 in Maryland before 9-11, or they could do--allowed to do so by any radical imam's taqiyya-based fatwa's for the greater "jihad good") if they ever wanted to activate a cell to do damage to a visiting high level VIP team or CODEL (Congressional delegation). The USG has just said, and made public, an area or areas of safe haven for foreign threats.
Just like the TSA is run (an international joke in the eyes of their security colleagues around the world) these stupid federal bureaucrats living in a bubble don't think things out, they haven't played chess or read Sun Tzu a day in their lives. I guess next they will forbid the CIA or FBI from monitoring these places...
Those chaperones are usually called commissars.
This is gonna really piz some people off. LOL
Who drinks a beer with their pinky out?
Just how is a Secret Service Agent supposed to know what an unsavory bar looks like, or how much alcohol is an excess for that particular individual? Somebody will get a multi-million dollar Federal contract to conduct training.
I see. They make new rules when the problem was that they didn’t follow the old rules. Makes sense???
I would think that any bar with Hillary, the Food Stamp President or any of the administration would be deemed to be unsavory!
Glad to see the SS is tightening up. Heck, in aviation we went to 8 hrs from bottle to throttle instead of 8 feet years ago!
“Hey, brown sugar jus wake me up at 4am for your American Green. I be on duty tomorro”
Closing the barn door after the horses have already escaped.
Years ago when I was in the Navy and stationed in the Philippines, the first places we’d go were the bars designated “off limits.” Great places, great cold beer, great hot women!
That’s how it always works: one sucker spoils it for the rest of them. All for $47 dollars.
I have countless stories from the corporate jungle about such incidents. You gotta protect what you can get away with.
