During the Obama administration I was having dinner at a nice place. I was seated in the front window with my date. At one point the passenger area lights in this black SUV in front turn on. You could see inside that it was packed with dudes. One got out and he looked the role of a diplomatic security/secret service type.

I took closer note of my surroundings and realized the guy who I thought was a manager also had an earpiece in. He had a few other guys with him. I pointed out to my date that some muckety muck must be inside having dinner.

About 5 minutes later the security detail went in and walked Biden out. Security through obscurity well done.

I went to a Colbert show in NYC and there was a seriously unusual level of security getting into the theater - everyone got wanded, security (USSS) with dogs, etc. I was seriously confused until they finished taping (with Sean Penn) and he introduced Jimmy Carter as a pre-taped interview that they'd air later.
