i was advised by the head mechanic of the secret service motor pool fleet of suburbans that the buses were ordered this past april because it would be cheaper to own them rather than rent them whenever they are needed...the temporary security fixes to rentals were not as cost effective as permanently installing the security on vehicles they own.
the buses are available to any govt official that the secret service deems appropriate, elected, appointed, visiting, etc. there are many officials who need and utilize the security of the secret service besides the potus. the primary reasons for the purchase were communications and security - not really for the pres' campaigning.
and he further told me that when the buses are not in use for touring or other transportation reason[s], they are equipped to serve as mobile command centers to be used wherever needed when an emergency should occur. for that reason, they will be outfitted with the new feature of being able to communicate with anyone/anywhere as soon as the technology is available.
i have no reason to doubt the sincerity of my informer - he is family!
