Among the "lessons learned"...

Don't do strip club take-out

Don't argue about price; agree on price before the festivities begin

...it just violated organization policy and good judgement.
Rule #1 of being a good Secret Service agent:
         Try to not draw attention to yourself

hobby...it's supposed to be deadly dangerous there, and messing in the hobby just increases the risks exponentially.  Which, I suppose, means that if you're in the secret service, you can take some risks civvies just wouldn't.

Heard that up to 10 military and 11 secret service guys were involved. Biggest mistake they ever made. Goes to show you can't be too careful. Much more to come out on this.

You can't do that kind of stupid stuff on the Presidential protection detail.

Maybe if the agent that got them all busted had made an effort not to stiff the lady her fee or maybe just pay her the upcharge (For Christs sake how much more could she have been asking for? Its Columbia after all!) He and a slew of other agents would not be in their current predicament.

It's the only place where certain hotels offer it up openly as a service you can book with your room.

Colombia is the most dangerous South American country, no doubt. Hobbying or not.

I wonder if this will bring more attention to hobbying in the US. Highlights the lunacy of the law and unrealistic bigotry against hobbying. Rest of the world understands that the oldest profession is never going to end and legalize interaction between consenting adults, in the US we try to criminalize it.

The bible thumpers aren't having it, you sinfull heathen.

someONE needs to get fucked....... settle down..... it's only P4P

The whole thing is caught up in Presidential politics and in truth their actions were incredibly stupid.  They were part of the President's protection detail; they never should have been doing anything that might compromise that.  Luring someone into a compromising position in order to blackmail them is a well known tactic in the spy game.  That doesn't look like the case here but these people should have known better.  3 of them are already out of work.

I heard this morning that he offered her $30 & she wanted $800
