Comment Re:Why use secrete service agents (Score 1) 175
Perhaps because they aren't looking for the best pure athlete to simulate an intruder. Presumably Secret Service agents (at least those that are on White House duty) would also have training in searching for evasive intruders, and therefor would have an idea how to play the role of one as well.
Now perhaps they could train world class athletes as well as cross train them to be Secret Service agents...
