10. Why was it a nightmare for the Secrete Service? No one was shooting at them.

And what do you mean "how horrible to live through that?" It seems to me that the horror would be in not living through it - there is no horror in surviving, the horror is in being killed.

No, it was no nightmare for the Secrete Service, a horrible case of failure, but not a nightmare. And it was not horrible to live through it, it was an embarrassment to have let it happen and for the world to see the gross ineptitude that allowed it to happen.
