So Secret Service agents do high value target protection and investigate counterfeiting.

I would imagine that Confidential Service agents do medium value target protection and investigate check kiting.

But what do Top Secret Service agents do?

And how about Top Secret / SCI agents?

And are their Restricted Data agents? Formerly Restricted Data agents? CNWDI agents?

(Of course, we all "know" what Q agents do...at least those of us who are trekkies)

Seriously, who proofs these articles (and their headlines)?

Not secret and not service... what are they?

They look good, dress and speak well and after that you have said it all....remind you of anyone??

There is no, repeat no agency within the federal government that is not falling apart either deliberately or from obesity.This happened to several Chinese dynasties as did to such ancients as the Egyptians and the Romans. It never ends well.

I can remember when “G-men” (SS, FBI, etc) were among the most admired and respected of all Americans. Now they’re just like any other FedGov a-hole, there for the bennies and the generous pension.....

Secret Service agents are usually very careful about their guns...

No sh1t?

ATF agents have lost track of dozens of government-issued guns, after stashing them under the front seats in their cars, in glove compartments or simply leaving them on top of their vehicles and driving away, according to internal reports from the past five years obtained by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Agents left their guns behind in bathroom stalls, at a hospital, outside a movie theater and on a plane, according to the records, obtained Tuesday by the news organization under the federal Freedom of Information Act.

In December 2009, two 6-year-old boys spotted an agent’s loaded ATF Smith & Wesson .357 on a storm sewer grate in Bettendorf, Iowa. The agent lived nearby and later said he couldn’t find his gun for days but didn’t bother reporting it — until it hit the local newspaper.

In some areas of the country, departments require police officers to lock their guns in a special case when not using them in their personal vehicles, at the office or home.

As much as I enjoy shooting, I have never USED a gun in my car.

It seems to me that there’s a big difference in culpability between leaving your service weapon in a locked car, in your own driveway, vs. leaving it in the open at a mall. In the first instance, you’re a victim of theft — in the second, you’re a bozo.

FOUO Agents?

In the military, the penalty for losing a weapon is a court-martial and a trip to Leavenworth. Yet these G-men get off with a suspension? Totally unsat!
