Donate $25 for two DVDs of the Cryptome collection of files from June 1996 to the present Natsios Young Architects 30 January 2009 Please do not link photos to bulletin boards to avoid wasteful repetitive downloads. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/29/AR2009012903894.html Downtown Washington resembled a militarized zone last week for the inauguration of President Barack Obama, but some major contributors who had direct contact with Obama said they were surprised to find what they viewed as porous security surrounding the president-elect and vice president-elect. "I was surprised," said online retail executive Alfred Lin, who attended most of the events for major donors in the days leading up to the swearing-in. "It was less strict than going through airport security." To be sure, presidents mingle in public with people who have not been screened, and some donors said they were not troubled by the level of security in place last week. Ed Donovan, a Secret Service spokesman, said the agency's security measures are not always visible. "We take a layered approach to security and don't rely on any one countermeasure to ensure that a site is safe," he said. In answer to a recent inquiry, Cryptome listed these presidential threat countermeasures: 1. Personal -- prevention of harm by persons with direct access to the president at private and public gatherings. These measures are shown in the photos of Secret Service agents guarding the presidents in crowds. 2. Standoff personal -- counter-snipers some distance away from the president in public gatherings. Photos show these measures. 3. Vehicular -- armored vehicles and accompanying vehicles in caravans, supplemented with ground and aerial surveillance and  electronic monitoring. Caravans ususally include a medical ambulance. 4. Aerial -- Air Force 1 and Marine 1, both of which have countermeasures (IRCM) against missile attack. Both usually  travel in pairs and are accompanied with protective aircraft, aerial surveillance and electronic monitoring. IRCM measures are shown in photos. 5. Counterintelligence -- ongoing means and methods to gather information on threats to the president and his family. A panoply  of means via HUMINT, ELINT, SIGINT and so on. Cryptome offers several files on the topic of presidential protection but not much yet on Obama as president -- the cut-off is the inauguration -- soon to beremedied as contributions and such are sent our way. inaug-sec-03.htm Obama Inauguration Security 19 January 2009 January 20, 2009 inaug-sec-02.htm Obama Inauguration Security 18 January 2009 January 19, 2009 dc-sec-08-0116.pdf Washington DC Threat Assessment 08-0116 FOUO January 16, 2009 inaug-sec-2008.zip Inauguration Security Assessment 2008 FOUO January 16, 2009 (3MB) dc-sec-08-0114.pdf Washington DC Threat Assessment 08-0114 FOUO January 16, 2009 obama-homesec.htm Obama Chicago Home Security Zone Photos November 28, 2008 phsf-eyeball.htm Presidential Helicopter Support Facility Eyeball June 29, 2008 usss-hands.htm US Secret Service Hands Ready June 6, 2008 obama-mansion.htm Obama Chicago Mansion Birdseye June 5, 2008 obama-protect.htm Obama Protection January 5, 2007 david07-eyeball.htm Eyeballing Camp David 2007 March 18, 2007 veep3-eyeball.htm Vice President Residence Eyeball Update November 25, 2006 david3-eyeball.htm Camp David Eyeball Update November 25, 2006 david-ge.htm Eyeballing Camp David by Google Earth October 14, 2006 hmx1-ircm.htm Marine One Anti-Missile Countermeasures April 22, 2006 af1-ircm.htm Air Force One Anti-Missile Countermeasures April 12, 2006 af1-birdseye.htm AF-1 and HMX-1 Birdseye January 1, 2006 prezsec-eyeball.htm Eyeballing Presidential Protection December 23, 2004 sstsd-eyeball.htm Eyeballing US Secret Service Technical Security October 12, 2004 whrez-eyeball.htm Eyeballing White House Presidential Residence July 10, 2004 whpan-eyeball.htm Eyeballing the White House Panorama July 7, 2004 usssbig-eyeball.htm Big Eyeballing the US Secret Service Academy January 28, 2004 hmx1-eyeball.htm Eyeballing Presidential Helicopter Marine One November 23, 2002 af1-eyeball.htm Eyeballing Air Force One September 12, 2002 veep-eyeball.htm Eyeballing the US Vice Presidential Residence June 22, 2002 david-eyeball.htm Eyeballing Camp David Presidential Retreat June 10, 2002 usss-eyeball.htm Eyeballing US Secret Service Training Facility May 15, 2002 The Secret Service wants its protection advertised to scare away attackers, and may provide limited information for that purpose, while guarding info which might circumvent protection. Standard behavior for those in the booming security racket. If you are lucky you will reveal information that will have the Secret Service on your doorstep, and that will lead to a story bump. Snipers remain the simplest and most difficult killing method to prevent, a culture promoted by the military, spies, politics, religion, media and popular entertainment -- honorable and terrifying. It is the preferred tool for individuals to empower themselves to act directly on their grievances and ambitions. The solo sniper with no obvious affiliation of a threatening group and without prior knowledge by officials is considered by the military, presidential protection and police agencies the hardest threat to counter -- and all utilize the horrific measure to underwrite its empowering deterrence.
