To all those criticizing the Secret Service for this oh-so terrible shoe "attack"...

Just what could they have done differently? Do you really want the SS to start strip searching everyone within the vicinity of the President? Requiring them to stand behind Plexiglas? Form human shields around him at all times? Just say screw it and not let them go out in public ever?

If you really want to be scared, read up on the failed grenade assassination attempt on Bush in Georgia in 2005. Now THAT sort of stuff can and should always be prevented.

But getting worked up over a couple of fucking shoes? I don't get it.
