I’ve been hearing from experts that the increased funding that Congress is throwing at the Secret Service won’t really be able to make any difference, at least in the short term, because it takes a lot of time to recruit, vet and train quality agents. The fact that they had an agent of this quality assigned as part of Harris’ protective detail indicates that their selection process was already pretty effin’ bad, so rushing to increase the number of agents could go pretty poorly.
