I love 'Secret Services in large letters written on the car. I once saw news footage of US law enforcement in action and one of the officers had that written on the back of his coat!
The US Secret Service is part of the Treasury. They were originally set up to fight counterfeiters, but after the assassination of President Lincoln they were also given the task of guarding the President. That is still one of their jobs.
A large Chrysler was parked outside of the the barbershop a number of years ago, I didn't pay it too much attention until the passenger door opened and I saw the thickness of the glass and then the guy stood with the car, a very well cut suit still couldn't quite hide the compact submachine gun under his left armpit, I couldn't resist asking who he was guarding, "oh nobody really, just the security of defense" sometimes you don't need secret service written on you when it's written all over you!!��
