From what I understand before the president makes an appearance secret service will secure the area weeks in advance but what does the secret service do as far as surrounding buildings/possible sniper spots? Say there is 10-20 high rise building over looking where the president is set to make an appearance. Does the secret service go to these buildings during the appearance and restrict access?

I've always wondered this.

I could tell you but then I’d have to kill you.

What the secret service does is not publicized nor should it be.

There was a good show on NGC a few weeks ago that detailed what the SS does when the pres comes to down.
Could maybe find it on the website?

I'm sure the SS will do what they think is needed for the mission.

They have been doing a fine job at this for how long?

PS Why do you really ask? Are you working on something?

Go rent the movie "Parallax View." And FWIW, I think you just made it onto somebody's list.

The day before pres Bush came to JAX there were choppers circling downtown for about 2hours.

Three of them, in a pattern.

Their outermost point to the west was above my work.

The Secret Service does whatever it takes to complete the mission.  In my (limited) experience with them, no detail is too small, no threat is looked over, no matter how minor, and they do not play games when push comes to shove.  Non compliance is not an option.

The agents I've ever worked with or around are some of the most professional people I've ever been around.  

Answer your question?

I'm sure they have about a half-dozen or so snipers watching that 20 story building.

Dude! You just asked the question that shall never be asked.  I am jealous!  I want to know what the inside of a super-secret .gov torture chamber looks like.
