Failures in Security Protocols

The Secret Service's failure to secure the roof during an event where a former president was present raises significant concerns about its operational protocols. Critical intelligence regarding an Iranian plot to target the former president had been missed, and communication breakdowns left the detail vulnerable. Despite standard practices, the rooftop was not properly swept or secured, highlighting a lapse in planning and execution during heightened threat conditions. Such oversights could have resulted in catastrophic consequences, emphasizing the need for a thorough assessment of security practices.
