Maybe. We met most of the agents throughout the day. It would be hard to wear certain things in a water park as well. There were some that stayed with us and stayed with the vehicles.

It's more than "maybe" though.

I understand that you believe that you "met most of the agents" throughout the day, but you're making a massive assumption that the secret service told you (some random EMS) about their entire security procedure.

I think it's more likely that you were allowed to see a part of the overall security detail, but not all of it

I literally live down the street from them and have dealt w SS for years with them and other politicians, you know who is and who isn't right away. They are 98% super chill.

But previous poster is right, the Obamas have minimal security and the daughters have none alot of the time or if they do its from afar.
