Secret Service director warns of unprecedented threats

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe one-sentence version: the Secret Service director says the threat environment is unlike anything he has seen.

2. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorUnlike anything? That's a big sentence for a man whose job is the same thing every day.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHe told 60 Minutes, on CBS. Norah O'Donnell has the full report Sunday.

4. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo what actually happened tonight?

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAn interview, a warning. CBS says it's not just gunmen anymore. That's the headline.

6. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNot just gunmen. So who else?

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorCBS lists drones, political violence and social media. The report asks if the agency can still protect the president.

8. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDrones. So we went from stopping one guy with a gun to stopping one guy with a gun, a drone, and a Twitter account.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFewer funnel cakes, yes.

10. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHow did we get here?

11. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPlainly, the tools got cheaper and the audience got bigger. Anyone can fly a camera or post a threat.

12. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorPosted from the couch.

13. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe details of how the agency is responding aren't in what we have. It's not clear yet.

14. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWho does this affect? Besides the president?

15. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnyone protected, and anyone near them. Crowds, motorcades, a city block that gets shut for a visit.

16. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorYour commute, basically.

17. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorYour commute, basically.

18. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAre there two sides to this?

19. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBroadly, one view says more money and tools. Another asks whether more security means less access. Both are arguable.

20. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWhat do we watch for next?

21. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSunday's broadcast. Whether the director gets specific about what changes, and what it costs.

22. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo the one-sentence version again: the job just got bigger than anyone's two eyes.

23. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAs a lobby notice, this one's laminated. It will hang there for years.
