Listen "Secret Service Code Names"
Episode Synopsis
President Abraham Lincoln commissioned the United States Secret Service to safeguard the country's financial infrastructure from the scourge of counterfeit currency. They've been protecting presidents since Theodore Roosevelt and, since Truman's time, assigning them weird nicknames like Rawhide and Searchlight. Their code name for Jimmy Carter's budget director was Dumbo. They also have aliases for buildings, aircraft, cars, actors, and even a hotel. On this week's show, we're getting to the bottom of that.WWW.5MINUTETRIVIA.COM
