Or imagine a movie like Olympus has Fallen with Gerard Butler being a super super secret service agent. And then remember that the SS is actually a bunch of retards that in broad fucking daylight, let a dude carry a ladder, set ladder up to a roof, climb up, post up on the roof with an AR-15, point it at former/campaigning President, and take a shot before they capped him.
If the COVID era taught me anything it's that most people are retarded, and that includes those same people when acting in their "professional" capacity. Teachers, nurses, doctors, scientists, cops, etc. Assassins probably are not some exception to this rule.

I mean, to be fair, weren't the other agents, while not pants-on-head retarded, not so bright/competent? Butler's character was the exception (to an unrealistic degree, of course), and we weren't supposed to believe all SS agents were like that. Most of the SS got mowed down by equally retarded terrorists, or something.
Yeah but that's storytelling and portrayal. If everyone is a badass then the movie can't have a hero save the day. So I think that had less to do with them be generous to reality and more about power scaling for the sake of action.

Also, the secret service were compromised because Dylan McDermott's character sabotaged their protocols, which led to them getting ambushed.
Yup, can't argue with that.
