Say someone tries to kill the person you are protecting and instead of throwing your body over them you chicken out, what do they do? fire you? or have a little chit chat with you?

At the very least you'd be fired.

I've seen it happen twice. Neither of the agents were released.

Besides whatever they would do to you, you would be forever nationally known as a disgrace. I can't imagine a Secret Service agent doing that.  The previous poster has supposedly seen it happen.

That's Tim on the right, while Jerry Parr was putting President Reagan into the limo. He faced toward the threat, stood his ground and spread his arms, sucking up a .22LR Devastator round from Hinckley in the process.

Used to be:



"Well Agent Whazzit, you let the shooter get through. We have decided to re-assign you to the basement of the Treasury Building cataloging counterfit currency. Enjoy your new assignment."



Now it's likely to be:



"Good job Agent Whazzit, you 'inadvertantly' let the shooter get to BHO. The Treasury Department will be holding a ceremony to award you the Medal of Freedom....if we can get the Vice President out from under her bed long enough."
