Very informative and interesting. Very well filmed. I have noticed a major change in the amount of manpower and equipment used in the protection of the President. My father
protected President Truman and Eisenhower. He transfered to the administration of the White House (Usher’s Office) in 1955. As I grew up, I watched the incresed protection at the White House. It saddens me to see the required amount of people and money now spent on the Presidents protection. I guess now days the price tag for protection in around 300 million a year. Only to be more expensive each year. Thanks again National Geographic for another fine film.
