The Secret Service pins are not for shootouts specifically but for access control of secure areas. I worked an event where the President spoke so I got one of the pins once I cleared into the secure area. I’ve still got it in a mementos box somewhere.
Edit to clarify: a matching pin was not sufficient on its own to gain access to the secure area. But being in the secure area without a matching pin would certainly be sufficient to draw some official attention.
- jaywalk 6y agoI've got one of those Secret Service pins as well, from an event with the VP. I'd be surprised if it has RFID, although I'm not about to tear it apart to find out.
