Secret Service and Prostitutes?

I saw this on the nightly news, and I was amazed at how the reporter was going psycho about how the SS has sensitive information that terrorists could have gotten a hold of. First of all, these prostitutes are most likely unilingual Spanish speakers with a very low level of education, so it's not like they would have understood any of it. Secondly, these girls probably only care about two things, money being one of them. So I'm not losing any sleep over this.


One would really be surprised how smart women can be, especially when their playing a perceived role.
 
Why does this alway's turn into news? ... because people are entertained from it

"Dude gets caught paying for nookie!"

personally I don't care to hear about it... live and let live...

Except that these particular "dudes" have top-secret clearance from the U.S. government and are sworn to protect the most powerful person in the world. Who knows whether any of those prostitutes are agents for foreign powers? Live and let live? That's a pretty silly position when you're talking about people with one degree of separation from the POTUS.

Anyway, their problems are just beginning. They've already had their top-secret status revoked. That's gonna look real good on their resumes. Look for them soon, wearing their earwigs watching the Wal Mart parking lot as security guards.
 
Side note: I've worked w Secret Service cats before. Nice guys, plain clothes, smartest guys in the room yet unassuming, but they will break your arms off, push them down your throat & out your butt if you like. You would never guess it looking at them. Just like bassists.
 
From what I've been told, the problem here wasn't the Secret Service agents -- it was the (non ss) military guys who were part of the group.

The way I hear it, the partying is nothing new or notable but the Secret Service is so buttoned-up and professional that you never know about their extra-curricular exploits. This thing blew up because you had some folks in the mix who couldn't hang with the big boys.
