Exactly. We are told a little bit about a lot. JS

And probably from 1980... if this information was current and correct... do you think they would allow KZfaq videos of it? Yeah. Nah. Lol

My imagination is not that great because I can't think of anything that they haven't already thought of and mentioned

Yeah, imagine the decoy car is now a holographic projection. The smoke screen has been replaced with a light bending cloaking device. The beast is equipped with anti munitions countermeasures to detonate rockets before impact. And they added a mini patriot launcher that pops out of the roof of a support vehicle in case of an aerial attack (Kamikaze plane/drone) breaching the no fly zone. or laser detection systems that can detect when a laser sight is hitting the motorcade and triangulate the source of the laser sight then automatically either A: shine a laser/s at a calculated hight above the source to attempt to blind a sniper or B: fire live rounds in a reverse trajectory. (Not a good choice)

Yes, indeed.

Yeah this video kind of skips over the fact that an advance Secret Service team with dozens of people shows up a week or more in advance and identifies and eliminates all the places bombs, snipers, etc can hide out. Screen and run background checks everyone he might come in contact with including all staff working at the hotels, etc. As well as run down all the local political nuts that have made threats and makes sure any local radicals are not planning anything. People wonder why it costs so much for the President to travel, even inside the USA. Just Trump's trips to Mar A Lago and his golf outings cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars and often millions just for the security.

😂😂 that’s hilarious and a pita

They did it for the Queen and the Pope too. Who knows who else? I see it happen in NYC quite a bit because of the United Nations.

Good. Some secrets should be secret. Your husband's service is appreciated.

@@justanotheryoutubefan8070 Huh???

@@brianadamsDC Okay I'll repeat. Does the president know about all the secret features or is it so secretive that only the secret service knows? As a matter of fact, I'll just google it.

Yeah, the only things they're going to tell you about are the ones you can obviously see. The antennas on the EC car, the thickness of the doors, the two beasts... etc. If you can't see it, it will not get a single mention or hint.

gay🤮

Yes, and the manhole covers would all be inspected and sealed.

Yes. When I worked at the UN and the prez visited there were snipers on the roofs of the General Assembly, Library and Conference buildings as well as many other buildings in the area. Staff driving into the parking lot under the UN had to have our cars thoroughly inspected including driving over cameras that scanned the underside as well as dogs going into the cars. The security is very thorough.

@@ZeroTolerance-tk9ce Yep. Either hand-searched or swept by K9, then sealed.

Cops at every bridge the president goes on or under all traffic gets stopped

@@SteveSwags And I don't think anybody would get that close to the President with a rocket launcher. It's drones I worry about.

i thought it has stronger underbody for mines or something like that as well

And 45 still has the same Motorcade even today..... and Bush jr and Obummer doe not get the same Motorcade

​@@leonardgiles70: It is President Obama*. Stop being immature. Don't need the divisive rhetoric. This is coming from a huge supporter of President Trump. 🇺🇸

​@@leonardgiles70ur a ignorant human being

Former disgraced twice impeached president.

@@ValyrianSteel00 Why do you people keep calling him President Trump? He's not the President.

Lol you know he was waiting for that question

The tires are solid rubber with kevlar coating....they cannot be blown out or blown off. Never goes flat

Don't forget that they actively work on counterterrorism and counterfeiting also. Lots of people do

When I worked at the 2002 SLC Olympics, just 5 months post 9/11... the security in place was... insane. SLC Airport had the TSA upgrade as a national priority. And when dignitaries were present, there were multiple sniper teams on buildings around venues. I was part of a camera crew at the medals plaza and we'd often sit up on the camera tower and just goof off with the big mounted camera after doing color balancing and checks. Just look around, zoom WAY in. And one night when the Defense Secretary was going to be there, we were able to watch the sniper teams setting up 6 hours prior to the event starting. And they were there that whole time, watching everyone from all over. Was kinda crazy. We all had to undergo FBI and SS background checks. The entrance to the work site had armed military personnel doing ID checks. It was intense. But no one questioned it at the time. And when the FBI/SS/Army/Marines come in to provide security... they give thorough a whole new meaning. It's impressive really.

In 74, I was working on a new high-rise tower in NYC, across from the UN. Yassar Arafat, leader of the PLO was to give an address. Everybody was stopped and had packages, lunch bags, tool boxes inspected before going east of Second Ave (UN is on First) We could identify all the plain clothes FBI, NYPD agents as they were brand new and still had the creases from the packaging. Arafat avoided hundreds of pro and anti-Arafat demonstrators outside the UN on the North Lawn of the UN campus adjoining the East River

Nah, he just dresses like a Kiwi. T-shirt and shorts in the summer, long sleeves and shorts in the winter. 😂

More likely he dresses in what is comfortable. I've never really paid much attention to his clothing, its always presesntable. They all dress comfortable and casual.

He dresses like me and I am in my 50's.

He dresses like 90% of guys I know outside of the workplace. Shorts and a comfy tshirt, maybe a baseball cap. Typical lounge ware, he's just keeping it real.

@@o0Silverwolf0o I don't know anybody that dresses like that except for kids in public.

And SS agents are usually sent out a couple weeks ahead to scout planned routes, make changes, identify potential threat areas, etc. The amount of work that goes into the President traveling is incredible... but I don't question any of it. It makes complete sense to take it so seriously, and just that show of serious business acts as a deterrent itself. The movie London Has Fallen actually does a fairly good job, in my opinion, of showing just how hard it would be to attack these sorts of motorcades. You would need to spend years embedding people inside the sort of security groups that would be working enforcement around it. It would not be easy, it would require significant planning.

That would be a really bad prank to pull on the poor new Secret Service Agent assigned to the task of opening the door for the president.

That was interesting. I have seen the motorcade ona few occasions myself. Worked downtown DCfor over 10 years.

As a taxpayer, worth it. Regardless of whether the current POTUS' politics agree with mine.

That's not technically true. Most of those 50 or so vehicles are not actually considered part of the motorcade from a security standpoint. They often include numerous passenger vans, SUVs and buses carrying lower-level White House staffers, presidential guests and reporters and they all trail the motorcade. The motorcade itself is only the integral group of vehicles (police, Secret Service and the ambulance) directly carrying or supporting the president. The other (normally rented or hired) vehicles that almost always follow in trail with their own police escorts are technically separate from and not officially considered a part of the presidential motorcade. Think of them as associated with, but not actually in, the presidential motorcade.

@@skyhawk_4526 If you do a search on the USA Presidential motorcade and review videos on the topic they actually state that the number is 40 to 50 vehicles. I think you need to challenge the other sources that say otherwise.

@@Redbikemaster This... it's a principle. It reinforces the power of the US, it is power projection, at home and especially abroad. Like whoever it is or not, they are the President and the office is what is being protected as much as the person occupying it at the time.

@@mycroft16 exactly. It's not just about protecting the actual human. It's also about protecting an idea.

The scout teams that go out ahead are extremely intimidating. They do NOT mess around. Like at all. I'm pretty sure they weren't issued senses of humor either. They trust no one and nothing unless 3 of them have personally verified it and triple checked it. I worked the 2002 Olympics and it was the same. Unbelievably dedicated and thorough people who take their jobs with life or death seriousness.

And with the exception of State dinners the President must pay for the meals and they must be prepared downstairs in the White House kitchen. It's one of the chief complaints by Presidents is the costly meal bill and the inability to make their own meals upstairs in the private quarters.

Having a private chef on call anytime of the day or night. I don’t think the Pres and his family are suffering for takeout. 😆

I thought Trump ordered Big Mac's a lot ??!!

@@arlenefisher1164 And supposedly Clinton used to jog to McDonald’s.

In fairness, often a completely random unplanned stop is safer as there is no clue or hint or any indication it will happen and the off chance of there being someone there is extremely remote and not something the SS detail couldn't handle. And yes, the President can decide to go somewhere, but the SS needs at least a few hours. It can't be a spur of the moment thing. So when Biden stops for ice cream, that decision was likely made that morning. Restaurant owners in the DC area have talked about it. The SS will show up 4 to 6 hours before the President arrives, and that's the first you know about it, and they lock the restaurant down from that moment on. So you're not going to alert anyone. They guard all the doors and plan where he will sit for maximum protection. Restaurants buy food early morning so they don't really have to check it as who would know? Even White House chefs shop incognito on a daily basis and rotate randomly the markets they shop from. It's an odds game and the odds with very little work are massively in favor of the White House. Unless someone is literally willing to poison the entire district and parts of Virginia/Maryland/Delaware. So while they aren't making unplanned spur of the moment stops, they absolutely can decide they want to stop at x place on the morning of an event. Which for someone under that level of protection isn't bad. Had Seinfeld given the SS a day or two notice of that desire, it would absolutely have happened. Obama ate out at a local Vietnamese eatery with someone, they had local food and some beers and chatted. Anthony Bourdain I think actually. Just the two at a rando table in this little hole in the wall place.

Wow, what an experience!

Bot

Ah, the old days, when none of us were carrying cameras in our pockets!

Honestly, what blows me away is the mindset you have to have to plan all of this. The people who have to think up every possible threat scenario and then plan for it.

Thankyou SO much!!!

Yeah baby!!

I don't know if the beast goes with, but they transport a convoy of our vehicles in cargo planes, which is hilarious.

Make it one that also tells a little bit about them all crashing a few decades ago. Or maybe step into the new millenium and look into a VR video version.

It's normally announced (or at least known to the public) at least 3 days before the visit. Much of this is due to airspace restrictions that go into effect prior to and during the presidential visit which have to be pre-announced so pilots and airline operators are aware and can plan for those restrictions. The Secret Service sends an advance team to the area often at least a week before the visit where they perform threat assessments and plan the routes and alternate routes, and scout the area to determine where their personnel and local police personnel will be posted. Every presidential movement involves hundreds of Secret Service agents and at least hundreds of other supporting law enforcement agencies all over the routes and at the venues where the president will be in attendance. Many of the agents and other federal and local officers wear plain (street) clothes to blend in with the public in addition to rest of the more visible uniformed and suit wearing members of the security detail present everywhere along the routes.
