Please Do Not Photograph The Presidential Limo


Tommy Christopher is Asylum's White House correspondent.

As a rookie White House reporter, I often find myself gormlessly wandering into places I'm not supposed to be, so I was grateful not to be the guy who got hassled by the Secret Service for snapping an unauthorized picture of the Presidential limo yesterday.

I was copping a smoke outside the briefing room, where the Secret Service was prepping two of the presidential limos to take him to an event at the Ritz Carlton. They were checking something under the hood when one of the agents pointed through the briefing room window and shouted, "Hey! C'mere!"

Apparently, he had seen one of the cable news tech guys shooting a picture with his iPhone. He made the guy come outside, and show him that he had deleted the photo.

See, there's this rule.

I beleive that car was made for Obama not too sure. I worked with the USSS in Laurel, MD at the training site. Awesome paint ball city. The black 4 wheelers are nice. The K9 training there is fab! According to the USSS, taking pics might somehow hurt security. With all the photo enhanceing stuff, they caqnt be too sure. Understandable.

Secret service have their rules for a reason. This would be the same no matter who is President.

If you look at the plate it has a #2 on it. This belongs to the VP not the President.
