Aside from the election, we need. to be concerned about the Secret Service.
Drinking and whoring while on duty, now this.
Everybody in that press "pen". has been vetted by the FBI. The agent knew the photographer was no threat. He totally was out of control.
He may have been out of control we don't know. But do you really believe everybody in that press pen had been vetted enough to insure they were no threat?

Yes. I have personal knowledge of such vetting.
If you doubt the vetting, check it out for yourself instead of believing what everyone thinks.
Appears you think that the POTUS hires and supervises all government employees and knows what they all do on a daily basis.
Can't wait for Trump to get the same scrutiny as all the others?
What will the mob do when they discover that their idol also has clay feet? What will the mob do when Trump cannot control the world and everything in it?

A quick search did not bring up what the process is for me. I am not believing what anyone tells me about it. Common sense tells me they cannot "ensure" no one is a threat. Of course it will lessen the odds.

Those press people get very close to a candidate sometimes for hours at a time. The ones who travel with the candidate in a group have serious security clearance.
The SS service knows they cannot stop an attempt to shoot a candidate or a POTUS, but they like to be able to catch them.
If the photographer was stringer picked up by some media outlet from another place, he would still need security clearance from the local police department and the candidate. If he were a local stringer he might get pushed off the platform by the mass of traveling media swooping in with the candidate.
A lot of time, the candidate's press folks will mark the spot on the platform for each media person. An individual cannot just waltz in and declare they are a photographer and get a pass.
