IIRC, the Secret Service is a part of the Treasury Department, so this makes a degree of sense.
Although that does lead to the question of how guarding U.S. politicians falls into their scope of service.

When I saw the first one of these several years ago I actually called the local branch of the US Secret Service to report it. I got about three lines into the description and the case officer interrupted me with a very bored "Yeah yeah its in Nigeria, right?" Followed by "we know. Don't worry about it." I'm sure they are still in hot pursuit of that lead. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:207840 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
