I read the article and that is a shame, but if the alarm was going off, why didn't her alarm company call her and notify her so she could go down and shut it off? I would have been there within 20 minutes of the alarm going off to see what was happening. This is another case of, more to the story than being reported. EDIT: This article says she was alerted at 8:12 am that the camera was taped over. At 1pm she was alerted that people had entered the building at 12:42 pm. She finally decided to go there at 4 pm. she says the Sheriffs dept knew about it, but the other articles says they didn't. www.berkshireeagle.com/news/central_berkshires/salon-owner-secret-service-apology/article_8eef0cca-5677-11ef-899f-c34aa019b3da.htmli would have drove there or called local police as soon as i saw the alert the camera was covered up at 8:42 am.

Absolute power corrupts Absolutely.
Look at every government facility, small to local. Everyone thinks they're somebody. Courts... look at all those power hungry minions strutting like a Spring gobbler.
I do a large amount of work in the movie industry and have for almost 3 decades. Cable draggers walk around like they're multiple Oscar winners.

We know you are smarter and better than everyone else. The only blame should be on this once heralded agency never the shop owner. Yet you always find a way.

I have little doubt that abuses like this have been going on for decades. Ring cams and cell phones are just making it harder. Imagine you're a shop owner in the 60s and accuse the SS or any Gov agency of picking your lock and trashing your bathroom? Ludicrous antiGov communist propaganda is what they'd accuse you of spreading. If I got a notification my business has been entered illegally and the cam taped I'm not waiting g 5 or 6 hours to go check it out

Well she was on vacation out of town and had to drive back. You are assuming the roads where open. Or having to clear security to enter the area. Once again the only blame is on the agency. They really got lucky nothing bad happened as they left her camera blocked and left her door unlocked.

If the secret service can't see a open roof 150 yards away and put people on it, and have the a representative from every agency providing support with their radios in one spot what makes you think that they would have provided a portable vip restroom for support staff to piss in?
I mean that "we picked your lock in the interest of national security so we could piss comfortably " really does not provide a valid authority.
It makes the agency look like the circus, not the "professionals" they hold themselves out to be.
Like the business owner said, all they had to do was ask..she would have let them AND provided donuts..

It’s “Poopgate” except with female Secret Service instead of CIA operatives.
I guess there were no temp bathrooms brought in for the event?

Sounds like our government is not providing the same work environment that it requires by law of others.
Rules for thee but not for me.
Big surprise there!

Unless they are fired and arrested for trespassing, we are screwed.

I wonder where you'd even start? The agents can't all be that bad? Is it just piss poor leadership? Lapses in training? The inception of the Secret Service was a reaction to threats and attempts on the life of the President. Since it's inception literally every President has faced credible threats to their lives. And they have mostly dealt with those threats out of the limelight. You only hear about their failures. Have there been other close calls in the past we just didn't hear about? Or is the modern SS just that incompetent? I know threats spiked the last decade or so with the divisivness. I still have so many questions about the attempt on Trump. It just looked like amateur hour for all involved. They looked completely unprepared and discombobulated. Like after the first shot rang out he should have been swarmed and moving. Not piled on and stationary while everybody looked around.
