The Secret Service has upgraded its protection plan for Donald Trump's outdoor rallies beyond the level normally afforded presidential candidates. Bulletproof glass, previously used at times for presidents and vice presidents, will shield Trump onstage, a Secret Service official told the Washington Post. The Secret Service usually prefers indoor events, and in keeping with the agency's recommendation, Trump hasn't appeared outdoors since the assassination attempt in Pennsylvania a month ago. Putting up ballistic glass requires the help of the Defense Department, a layer that has been limited to the nation's top two elected leaders. "This glass needs to be brought in on trucks and vans," the official said.
Don Mihalek, a retired senior Secret Service agent, told ABC News that the process is involved. "This isn't just a piece of glass but a large, bulky and heavy armored glass that will require extensive logistics capability, normally reserved for large-scale outdoor events," he said. The Secret Service plans to order multiple sets of the glass and store them around the country so they can more quickly be trucked to the event location. Other steps will be taken that aren't usually for presidential candidates, but the agency would not provide details. (More Secret Service stories.)
