You are one of the leading members of the President$$s Secret Service security detail. You are not the person in charge, but your opinion is highly valued by your superiors. During a campaign stop in Dubuque, IA$,$ where the President is speaking, you are made aware of two, seemingly coordinated, assassination attempts of both the Vice$-$President, and a very popular, long$-$time U$.$S$.$ Senator in New York City. Luckily, both attacks were thwarted with limited injuries, but these attacks are quickly found to be a stepped$-$up effort by terrorist group, Al Qaeda. The President$$s next stop is scheduled for New York City the next day, where he is to give a big campaign speech. The event has been highly publicized for more than a week. Your superior comes to you immediately to seek your opinion. What is your recommendation for tomorrow$$s event? Do you consider canceling the event, or do you recommend that it goes on as planned, however, with greatly stepped$-$up security? What do you think the President$$s reaction would be to your decision? How would officials in New York City, both campaign and security, react to your decision?
