I live about 500 yards from his church. There is a good route right past my back window from the New Castle County airbase. There’s always some vehicles there that don’t look like anything else that weren’t really explained in the video, one looks like a minesweeper. There’s always state police and some kind of van with blacked out windows, I’ve often wondered if there are agents in there with rifles. Thanks for posting that

The information is presented in a fun fashion.

I only saw the presidential motorcade once which was when George H. W. Bush came to Austin to speak at the Capitol. There were not many people watching on 15th Street because it was about 100 degrees outside. The only reason I bothered looking was that I left work about 15 minutes earlier.

Joe Biden slips around Wilmington in New Castle County with minimal disruption. I know anything can happen anywhere, but I think the Secret Service feels pretty comfortable with him here in Delaware
