I have never attended a function at which the US president or other official
protected by the Secret Service was present, so I'm making some assumptions
here.
I assume that, at least when such an event is indoors, attendees are
required to pass through a metal detector upon entering. (I know that this
is so at least sometimes; I know nothing about when this procedure is used
and when it isn't.) I further assume that a person carrying a concealed
handgun will be denied admission.
If I'm right about that much, is there a specific federal statute that
authorizes disarming of attendees when the POTUS will be present, even if
carrying a pistol would be perfectly legal by the relevant state statutes?
