Homeland Security should have been a clearing house to share information among the different agency's that were already in existence. Too put all the eggs in one basket is foolish. Typical bulls**t of bureaucracy on the terror train to incompetence.

What would the the very worst scenario of all?
In my mind, it would be some domestic terrorists kidnapping a former President. We have four of them at the moment, and all their wives, former First Ladies, are still alive, too.

They just got complacient in their job.What job doesn't until the whistle blowers point it out.

Every job tries to hide their mistakes.

Someone messed up and that person has heck to pay.

The new person does well for the time being.

We are hammered about complacency all time. We know that if we screw up because we become complacent it very well could mean our job and it has many times.

I'd say the man they are protecting is in the wrong profession.

Exactly, fire the head and get another.Too many can be bought out or threaten to comply with certain groups.

Why can't these people be watched though?

We are.

It could be solved with a mote. Anyone in the water splashing around should wake up the SS agent. A taller fence with grease on it would help too. Maybe some strategically located bear traps on the lawn or other high tech solutions.

Bar none it has to be the most boring job anyone could have, until it isn't.
