Its not easy being the perfect federal agency, but the U.S. Secret Service really has no other choice. One screw-up and the whole government could come crashing down.

According to Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan, whos been on Capitol Hill pitching his fiscal 2013 budget of $1.6 billion, the agency has a 100 percent incident-free record for 5,616 domestic and 399 international travel stops, mostly for the president and vice president.
