Why do secret service agents wear sunglasses?

[Kaido]

sweet deal!

 

[rh71]

so they can see behind them too...

You didn't think they were standard issue glasses, did you ? 😀

This is what I found on the SS website:

Why do agents always wear sunglasses, and can you send me a pair?


The reason Secret Service agents wear sunglasses is to keep the sun out of their eyes--so they can increase their ability to see what people in the crowd are doing. We are sorry but we cannot send you a pair of sunglasses--agents buy their own sunglasses.

That'd be my guess too.

The agents with a gold pin on their right lapel are the ones that are armed and not all of them wear shades.

That's a lie.

They would not make it so easy to tell what ones are armed and what ones are not...

I would imagine that all SS agents on duty are armed.

The USSS Special Agent positions are all carry positions.
