On vlc player

I also recently read In the President's Secret Service by Ron Kessler. That would be an interesting book even without the recent Secret Service scandals, but it's now very timely. He goes into the background of the Secret Service and explains a lot of how they protect the president, vice president, serious candidates, up to forty other government officials, foreign dignitaries, and their families -- and provide security during important events such as presidential inaugerations, the super bowl, papal visits and so on. They can't just use a vlc player. What's sad is that the management of the agent is the kind I sometimes ran into as a federal employee, but much worse. Agents want to be transferred to a certain for personal reasons, and they're refused even though that city's field office needs agents. What sense does that make? So there is a morale problem already. And there's a high turnover rate. I suspect some of that contributed to the attitude in Colombia why not do what you want when you can?
