How much time do you think it takes the secret service to conduct an investigation on someone?

Seriously, this is what the secret services does, and they do it well.

This isn't the first G-20 to be held in the United States.

Scary....
The President is staying at the Omni William Penn, a luxury hotel used to this sort of thing, don't worry.

Are you sure? I suspect he's really staying at the Heinze estate.

A thorough investigation? Longer than you imagine...

I know it takes over a year for a top secret security clearance, but it's the business of the secret service to secure areas on a constant basis.

I'm sure they've had less time to check out hotel staff in the past. It's not like they haven't been here in Pittsburgh all these weeks.

They always arrive ahead of the President. I know for a fact that they are here and have been here for weeks.

It just seems silly to think they are incompetent and not being attentive enough. The President sometimes goes places with less warning than this.

I believe they know what they are doing.

Hope you are right. Time will tell by Saturday when we see what has gone on. I pray for the city that all are safe here and no major disturbances.
