Re: Handcuffing Yourself to a Briefcase
[ QUOTE ]
I heard a story that when Reagan was shot, the Secret Service agent who carries the nuclear codes got separated from everyone else and was walking around some very bad neighborhoods of DC with the briefcase handcuffed to his left hand and had his gun drawn in his right. [/ QUOTE ] honestly, this was likely his best day on the job. he was probably just thinking "I can't believe they let me do this. this is so [censored] sweet."

[/ QUOTE ] I'm pretty sure this an urban legend. 1) The Secret Service aren't the ones that carry the briefcase, it's a plainclothes military position. 2) The area where Reagan was shot is not a bad neighborhood. He was at the Washington Hilton near Dupont Circle. 3) He would not have been left behind. After Reagan was shot only his limousine left the scene. There were agents and police at the scene for hours afterwords.
