Louis Posted December 25, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 25, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I never understood why the President’s guards are called “Secret Service” since they are in public with their black uniform, and everyone can see them, talk to them, take their picture and even joke with them! Maybe “Secret” applies to their private life!? As everyone in America (and maybe elsewhere) has heard; they had some recent issues about being drunk, crashing their car against White House walls, passing their time on porno sites on the WH computers, havimg their weapon stolen from their car; and receiving prostitutes in their hotel rooms during official trips!... I am not even mentioning all the intruders who jumped over the WH fence under their nose and reached inside the WH building! … Frankly, for me most of the things mentioned above would be OK, as long as the average citizen can also enjoy the same life style without being harassed by the Government!; and as long as the President of the US is still safe!

stuny Posted December 25, 2015 Share #4 Posted December 25, 2015 A terrific set. BTW: The "Service" does more than just presidential and VIP protection, such as virtually all the fight against US currency counterfeiting and fraud. The "Service" started specifically to battle rampant counterfeiting after the US Civil War. In those cases they most certainly need a secret or two.

I know about everything you mentioned above. I was only talking about the WH Secret Service, referring to the kind of news we see almost every day now!

robert blu Posted December 27, 2015 Share #7 Posted December 27, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I like the third photo, I feel it is less distracting than the others. But this is simply my personal taste! A good series. robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwpics Posted December 27, 2015 Share #8 Posted December 27, 2015 I like all four, but my favourite is #2. Image #4 would be better if you had managed to include whoever he was talking to in my opinion. Oh, and I don't think this is the place for politics personally. Be thankful you are in a country where you can photograph the Secret Service without being arrested by them. Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iduna Posted December 28, 2015 Share #9 Posted December 28, 2015 Louis, thanks for all your "secret series", very nice shots in very convincing rendering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share #10 Posted December 28, 2015 Dear friends, thank you very much for your kind feedback!... Oh, BTW; this was not intended to be a "Political" statement; I was just referring to the talks in the news and a subject for my shots! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
