Gannon Fine by the 'Secret' Service

“Mr. Guckert provided the Secret Service with his legal name, rather than his ‘pen name,’ and was assessed using the same criteria applied to all individuals seeking access to White House briefings,” the letter says.

As fascinated as we are by this whole thing, it raised another question in our mind: why do they call themselves the Secret Service? We were at the White House yesterday, and we could totally tell who they were.
