I live in taxachusettes and in the late 80's when Dukakis was running for president, he had Secret Servive assigned to him. At the time I was a security Guard at a magor hospital in Boston, and Dukakis was coming in to give a speach. When his motorcade came up the back side of the hospital There was a suburban, and a stationwagon both had secret service. The stationwagon was in the rear and there was one guy in the back with a submachine gun I believe it was an MP-5, he never got out of the car . The suburban had two agents in the rear with subguns and they too did not get out. The guys that did get out had no noticable weapons. Now this guy was only a candidate at the time, so I acn only imagine that the pres gets the heavy duty gear.
