to his leg. These are only my thoughts but common sense and having worked for law enforcement many years go has given me some insight. Long before POTUS arrived at the site everyone knew about this guy. A decision with POTUS in on discussion, decided to let this guy stand there (with many eyes on him) not disturbed. He looked foolish but was not going to be a threat. Had he been escorted out the right would have gone into a tizzy about his "rights" blah, blah, blah. The guy who sneaked into the venue early, without permission and carrying a knife, to me, was pretty much the same. Of course, a loaded gun in his truck emphasized the fact he needed to be removed. Again, as with the other guy, "testing the waters"...
The Secret Service, especially Obama's own detail, are the best and brightest. Nothing gets by them. I understand they are under-staffed and this of course is because of the radical right with their threats ad nauseum. Keeping up with all of these nuts from FR on down/up the line has to be exhausting, but the people doing that digging are not a part of Obama's personal detail. They have only one job and that is the immediate protection of the President. I hope more hires will be brought into the Service to do the "knocking on doors" and whatever else they do to root these nutsos out. I do have complete faith in the SS, I feel they do like Obama and his family and as dedicated servicemen 24/7 are always on the job. They saw all of this coming, they're way ahead of the nutsos and know exactly what they're doing...
