    Because facist dictators don’t trust anyone, not even their own security. So use robots.

      Do they trust their programmers?

        Hopefully they have a poor understanding of tech, but the ones in silicon valley will probably bridge that

    Because they know despots are prime targets for public anger.

    Luckily, those things are still vulnerable to things like a molotov cocktail

      How many times can they stand back up one a single charge.

      Also a mesh faraday bag would probably stop them in their tracks.

        Honestly a regular bag would do the trick. Their sensors are all optical - block their view, and they’re about useless.

    Headline: Why is the Secret Service Doing Their Job?

    Why would the USSS not use effective (assuming it is) protection for the President elect, a man who has had two recent assassination attempts?

    I wouldn’t cry if a shooter got past them, but neither am I going to clutch my pearls about professionals being professionals.

    Look at the dumbass comments on here already. Apparently the USSS needs to slack off if their subject is a piece of shit?
