Greenman just asking questions.If it's the _Secret_ service, how come they announce who it is? Shouldn't it be a secret?
Come to think of it, why are they called that, anyway? It's a weirdly generic name for a body with a fairly specific function.
Seems like they are one of the less secret parts of the state security apparatus.

Unless things have changed, SS acquired functions other than just protection for the President or others. One in particular you'd think might just as easily fall under Treasury Department.
Mostly has entertainment value, but factually correct about an SS function:
