This could be a huge problem. Wonder if they are gonna check them for Guaro as well? Officers and staff at the Juan Santamaria Airport, where Obama will arrive, have also undergone a series of blood and urine tests to detect the presence of drugs, in addition to criminal background checks. http://insidecostarica.com/2013/05/02/s ... ama-visit/

how dare we conduct tests on people in other countries in preparation for this wannabe king? infringing on the rights of citizens and bringing a traveling circus in to shut down your country. the audacity is amazing.

still i remember the olympics were going to paralyze LA as well as the 405 carmeggedon. turned out those were two of better times to travel since everyone stayed home. i know its not the same in CR but who knows it could be ok.

You would think the Secret Service had learned a lesson from Colombia and would instruct agents to not be hanging around in places known for prostitution.

What, did they think they were going to get a discount, flashing their badges? Or is the Prez planning on visiting the HDR to promote good relations?

Might be just a pubic relations exercise

Actually Elvis was with me last night. I took my daughter out for her 21 st birthday dinner.
We went to a restaurant called the Blue Gill on the causeway in Mobile Alabama.
We sat at the booth that was Elvis's favorite when he dined there in the late fifties.
It has a plaque and old Pictures of Elvis . My mother had met Elvis at the Oasis club. This was in the 50's before he became famous. I became the boss of a guy that was Jerry Lee Lewis's drummer.
His name was Clinton Curly Brooks. He also played campaign music for George Wallace .
A little more history George Wallace and my father were friends and he used to come by our house when I was a small K*D. I later became friends with the money man behind George Wallace his name was Oscar Harper. He wrote a book called Me and George. It is amazing how a regular person can meet people that become famous.

I have been in government service for many years, not in the Secret Service, but have worked closely with them on several occasions. The above scenario sounds not only plausible but very likely to me for severl reasons.

1. Secret Service is actually, in today's USA, a misnomer. The name comes from their original mandate in 1865 and although their assignment and style of operation has changed greatly since then, the government has never seen fit to change the name. It is in no way a covert organization. It's just a name. They do have certain investigative functions that would require a low profile, similar to a police detective conducting an investigation or "stake-out". However, generally they are not trying to hide who they are.

2. There are 2 types of Secret Service field personnel. Uniformed Officers and Special Agents. The level of badge, insignia and uniform they wear depends on their assignment and the situation or location that they are in. Even the ones "hiding" in the crowd when the president gives a speech in front of a crowd are easily recognizable with their radio sets, earpieces, sometimes (but not always) visible firearm. They also wear a special lapel pin when not in uniform but on duty that is easily recognizable and has Secret Service printed on it, that can be read if you are close enough. The only exception in this instance would possibly be a special agent tracking a highly suspect or known target in the crowd, depending on the situation.

3. Secret Service presence in Guanacaste makes sense. The Liberia airport and surrounding area was probably already staffed and prepared for a possible divert or "escape" area in case of threats, weather, and many other possible scenarios.

4. If this did occur as the poster described (I would say a 90%-plus chance it did), it was probably a team of Secret Service personnel getting ready for a day's work of preparing the area. They would want to be seen, noticed, and recognized -- a "we are here" statement.

Who is this Obama you guys are talking about must be some1 important
maybe he can speak to the delrey about this chica fee in the interest of FREE TRADE....

All told, this situation did not interfere with my enjoyment of San Jose.
it forced me to ride a couple of buses (good to have that knowledge) and walk a lot (good for a number of reasons. I also saw the motorcade on Saturday flying up ave 2, going the wrong way at 60mph (100kph for you metrics). It was pretty cool.
Now I am in post CR partum in the hell hole of a town I live in getting ready for another work week.
Oh, also discovered two new eateries for me: soda Peru (great!) an Le Bastille (so-so). I'll post reviews on trip advisor.
That is all.

I have to agree and also witnessed the motorcade fly by, the wrong way. I still have one more night to enjoy though!

If these stories are true then Obama probably spent his free time in the park.

I assume you were referring to the previous post about agents in HDR. In this instance, they would have been required to be present at certain times at the HDR due to its proximity to Casa Amarillo and CENAC. I am sure there were multiple agents all wearing pins or badges, told to report any other agent not wearing his or acting in a manner "unbecoming", and told to be on their very best behavior.

Hi Jackie,
Thanks for the informative new about officials from the social security system and like to say we must take individual step to lead healthy lifestyle by working out regularly and having balanced diet meal plan.
