183. Not his call
Once you accept Secret Service protection, and candidates can refuse it as I understand it, you no longer have a call to make. They make the call. Among other things, someone possibly could have smuggled in a hand grenade. Or two. Not to mention a high-powered collapsible rifle. Smuggled in by that sweet looking little old lady carrying the big old bag. Who would question a sweet little old lady? They all carry those big old bags. Or so we think. The Secret Service is trained not to think the way we do. Which is why their call on this is so alarming. And it was alarming enough for Dallas PD to call them on it. And called them on it because it was their call.

This is very serious. Made even more serious by the fact that the media itself for the most part seems to be ignoring it.
