Small-Scale Question Sunday for July 14, 2024

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I remember reading that the Secret Service travels with donor blood ready to go for the President in case he needs a rapid transfusion.

Specifically mentioned in the film In the Line of Fire, which is just as gripping now as it was thirty years ago.

When I worked close to the white house, the Vice President's motorcade for the commute home had an ambulance as part of the standard vehicles. The most memorable though was the SUV with the doors removed and a SAW mounted in the door's place.

After their showing this week, not sure I'd be comfortable with the SS doing that. Imagine they're pumping it into you and one of them goes "huh, the package says it should have been refrigerated! How about that"
