Sexting arrest latest embarrassment for Secret Service By RANDALL CHASE DOVER, Del. (AP) -- In a case marking the latest embarrassment for the agency that protects the president and his family, a uniformed Secret Service officer has posted bail on state charges of trying to solicit a teenage girl for sex but he's still being held in federal custody.

I was watching Fox News this morning and a retired SS agent came on "Fox and Friends" to complain that his active duty SS agent pals weren't getting paid enough, as it would appear their pay is capped at $174,000 per year, which is the lowest wage for a U.S. Congress Creature, regardless of the number of hours worked. I did a quick fact checking by way of Google and it would appear that most SS agents have a salary that is above $100,000 a year after only five years service - and if they get the maximum salary allowed of $174K - this puts those lucky individuals in the elite 1.5 percent of all wage earners in America! The above $100,000 wage is just one item in the SS agents five star golden compensation package: they receive 30 days paid vacation per year, retirement (which they do not contribute) after 25 years, Excellent federal civil service medical benefits, free life insurance, and membership in the federal credit union with low cost loans for h...

By Carol D. Leonnig December 27 at 10:47 PM The Secret Service began struggling to carry out its most basic duties after Congress and the George W. Bush administration expanded the elite law enforcement agency’s mission in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. According to government documents and interviews with dozens of current and former officials, the recent string of security lapses at the White House resulted from a combination of tight budgets, bureaucratic battles and rapidly growing demands on the agency that have persisted through the Bush and Obama administrations in the 13 years since the attacks. At the same time, the Secret Service was hit by a wave of early retirements that eliminated a generation of experienced staff members and left the agency in a weakened state just as its duties were growing. The agency assumed new responsibilities monitoring crowds at an increasing number of major sporting events and other large gatherings seen as potential ta...
