Quote History Quoted:
As someone that has been up close and scene the inside of the suburbans, you do not want to mess with them. Our Dept. was fortunate enough to house the prearrival SS vehicles for a few days. Agents were cool as shit, down to earth and funny as hell, right up to the point that POTUS was in our airspace. They then turned very serious and put the game faces on. The folks we had were not in suit and ties. Plates, helmets and full battle rattle.
ETA: this was no where near DC and a past POTUS.

Yup you see those guys all the time in DC, waiting outside whatever building the president is visiting, or speeding by in a motorcade. If you look back behind the limos you will see a few suburbans with their side windows down and back window raised. They're the guys with the rifles, helmets, plates, ear/eye pro, etc.
If anything were to happen, I'm pretty sure the plan was just to stuff him into a vehicle and get out. It's not like they will sit in the kill zone and try to have a firefight.
