美国特勤局正在研究如何应对已从单一枪手袭击升级为无人机袭击的威胁。
副局长马修·奎因正在领导该局一项耗资数百万美元的新项目，研发进攻性和防御性无人机作战能力。该局武器库中的新工具包括一款人工智能雷达引导的反无人机系统，可瘫痪敌方无人机并用网捕获它们。
“无人机群是一个重大难题和严峻威胁，”奎因说道，“我很想告诉你无人机群的问题已经解决，但事实并非如此。不过我可以告诉你，白宫是地球上最安全的地方。”
无人机与美国特勤局
乌克兰战场已成为无人机武器化的试验场。美国特勤局对此并未忽视。
“我们知道这种技术迟早会传入美国本土，”奎因说，“因此我们正在借鉴当地的经验教训来推进我们的项目，确保在威胁到来之前做好准备。”

特勤局局长肖恩·柯伦表示，这关乎提前规划。
“我们必须认定这种威胁是真实存在的，”柯伦说，“一旦我们掉以轻心，就会措手不及。”
令人担忧的是，小型简易无人机可被加装炸药，对大型音乐会、体育赛事或竞选集会造成严重破坏。《60分钟》获悉，特勤局曾在去年12月的陆海军比赛期间使用电子干扰设备击落一架无人机，当时总统和国会议员均在场。
应对保护对象面临的日益增多的威胁
美国特勤局不仅面临新型威胁，威胁数量也在持续上升。
柯伦透露，今年以来针对特勤局保护对象的威胁已达1万起，涉及全职保护对象的案件同比增加40%。
“我认为这很大程度上与互联网有关，”他说，“如今人们更容易接触到彼此，信息也更容易获取。”
美国历史上最具争议的政治人物之一特朗普先生已多次躲过暗杀企图，包括在宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒的竞选集会、佛罗里达州的高尔夫球场以及白宫记者晚宴上。
“我认为两党都有既极度爱戴又极度痛恨任何一位总统的人群。我认为我们如今面临的最大因素无疑是心理健康问题，”奎因说道，“越来越多的人正被推向极端。”
柯伦表示，该局不会审查威胁来自政治阵营的哪一方。

两党合作的非营利政策研究机构战略与国际研究中心的研究显示，2025年左翼发起的事件数量激增，这是30年来左翼袭击次数首次高于右翼袭击。今年这一趋势出现逆转，目前右翼发起的袭击更多。
特勤局还在应对来自境外的威胁，包括来自伊朗的威胁。伊朗高层领导人已誓言要为其最高领袖遇刺一事向美国复仇。
“打开电视，你就能看到葬礼上悬挂着‘杀死特朗普总统’的巨型横幅。所以我们难道不应该意识到威胁环境已经升级了吗？当然应该，”奎因说，“我们如何应对、如何做出改变，这一点我们更愿意低调处理。”
特勤局的改革
近年来，特勤局因未能阻止2024年托马斯·克鲁克斯在巴特勒企图暗杀特朗普先生而饱受批评，随后进行了内部改革。柯伦正是当日负责保护特朗普先生的首席特工。他表示自己曾请求为该活动增派资源，但他“宁愿不谈过去”。
巴特勒事件发生期间担任特勤局局长的金伯利·切特尔辞职。特朗普第二任期就职后，任命柯伦担任该局局长。
今年6月，国土安全部监察长办公室发布了一份关于巴特勒事件的报告，认定特勤局“错失了多次侦测、预防和破坏暗杀企图的机会”。
正在主导该局多项改革的柯伦表示，他坚信类似当日的事件不会再发生。
多年来人员严重不足的特勤局目前正在培训大量新探员。国土安全部监察长的一份报告显示，反狙击手团队的人员配备比保护国家最高领导人所需的标准低73%。奎因透露，目前有942人正在接受培训，而去年这一数字“可能只有200人”。

随着总统在中期选举前重返竞选活动，柯伦新增了针对探员的培训，以避免重蹈巴特勒事件的覆辙。
就连总统的豪华轿车也在定期更新，其中大部分内容属于机密。这款座驾重达10吨，配备防弹玻璃和防御性对抗措施。
“我不想透露其具体性能，但它的功能非常强大，”柯伦说。
他新增了一辆医疗响应卡车，搭载创伤救治单元和现场外科医生，可随时处理枪伤。总统车队中还新增了一辆装甲运兵车。
“回顾我们经历过的一些重大内乱事件，我们该如何部署人员？比如1月6日国会山事件时的调遣。这款装甲车让我们能够将人员快速部署到需要的位置，妥善安置他们，保障他们的安全，”奎因说道。
“使命是保护美国总统”
这一保护范围也延伸至新的“空军一号”——一架由中东国家卡塔尔捐赠的747客机。据美国空军透露，美国为该飞机加装安全增强设备花费了近4亿美元。
柯伦表示，这架飞机是可靠的，但拒绝解释其可靠性背后的原因。
尽管如此，特勤局还是在7月阻止了总统乘坐该机从土耳其返回美国，此前有情报显示伊朗策划向总统专机发射导弹。特朗普秘密换乘另一架飞机，而内阁成员、白宫工作人员、媒体和特勤局探员则留在了诱饵飞机——旧版“空军一号”上。
“这不是我们第一次这么做，”柯伦说，“我们不希望这件事被报道出来，因为这会让我们的部分战术无法再次使用。这当然不是我们第一次采取类似行动。”
柯伦不愿具体说明特朗普先生是否曾在其他场合乘坐过诱饵飞机。奎因强调，工作的核心是保障总统的安全。
“当你执行任何保护美国总统的任务时，无论哪位总统，首要任务都是保护总统本人，”奎因说，“其他所有人——工作人员、探员、媒体、相关人员——都不是优先事项，包括我们自己的探员。尽管这可能让一些人难以理解，但我们的使命就是保护美国总统。”

The Secret Service is working out how to handle threats that have evolved beyond lone gunman to attack drones.
Deputy Director Matthew Quinn is leading the agency’s new multimillion-dollar program to develop offensive and defensive drone capabilities. Among the new tools in the agency’s arsenal is an artificial intelligence and radar-guided drone hunter, which disables enemy drones and captures them with a net.
“Swarms are a huge problem and a big threat,” Quinn said. “I’d love to tell you the swarm problem is solved. It’s not. I will tell you that at the White House, White House is the safest place on Earth.”
Drones and the Secret Service
The war in Ukraine has become a testing ground for the weaponization of drones. And that hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Secret Service.
“We know that technology is going to hit the homeland at some point,” Quinn said. “So we’re using lessons learned there to build our program and make sure we’re ahead of it before it gets here.”

It’s about planning ahead, Secret Service Director Sean Curran said.
“We have to assume that it’s possible,” Curran said. “The second we’re not, we’re going to get caught flat-footed.”
The concern is that a small, rudimentary drone could be weaponized with explosives and do serious damage to a large concert, sporting event or campaign rally. 60 Minutes has learned the Secret Service used electronic jamming equipment to take down a drone at the December Army-Navy game, where the president and members of Congress were in attendance.
Confronting a rise in threats to protectees
The Secret Service is confronting both new types and a rising number of threats.
There have been 10,000 threats made against Secret Service protectees so far this year; it’s a 40% year over year increase in cases involving full-time protectees, according to Curran.
“I think a lot of it has to do with the internet,” he said. “You know, people are more accessible. Information is more accessible.”
Mr. Trump, one of the most polarizing political figures in American history, has survived several attempts on his life, including at a Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign rally, at his Florida golf course, and at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
“I would say there’s people on both sides of the aisle that either love or hate any president. I think the biggest factor we’re dealing with today is mental health issues for sure,” Quinn said. “More people are being pushed over the edge in either direction.”
The agency doesn’t look at which side of the political aisle threats come from, Curran said.

Research by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a bipartisan, nonprofit policy research organization, showed a spike in incidents from the left in 2025. It was the first time the number of attacks from the left have been higher than right-wing attacks in 30 years. This year, that trend has reversed, with more attacks coming from the right so far.
The Secret Service is also dealing with threats coming from outside the country, including threats from Iran. Top leaders there have vowed revenge against the U.S. for the killing of their supreme leader.
“Turn on the TV and you can see the funeral where there are massive banners saying ‘Kill President Trump.’ So do we recognize the threat environment has increased? Absolutely,” Quinn said. “How we do it and how we change, that’s where we prefer to stay in the background.”
Changes at Secret Service
The Secret Service has undergone internal changes in recent years after facing backlash for its failure to prevent Thomas Crooks’ attempt on Mr. Trump’s life in Butler in 2024. Curran was the lead agent in charge of protecting Mr. Trump that day. He said he had requested additional resources for the event, but that he’d “rather not get into the past.”
Kimberly Cheatle, who was head of the Secret Service during the Butler incident, stepped down. When Mr. Trump’s second term began, he appointed Curran as head of the agency.
This past June, the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General released a report on Butler. It found the Secret Service “missed multiple opportunities to detect, prevent, and disrupt the assassination attempt.”
Curran, guiding several changes at the agency, said he’s convinced nothing like the day’s events will happen again.
Many candidates are now in training for the Secret Service, which has been dangerously understaffed for years. A Homeland Security Inspector General’s report found the counter-sniper team is staffed 73% below the level needed to protect the nation’s most senior leaders. There are 942 people in training today compared to “maybe 200” last year, Quinn said.

And with the president back on the campaign trail ahead of the midterm elections, Curran has added new training for agents to avoid the mistakes of Butler.
Even the president’s limousine is getting regular updates, most of them classified. It weighs up to 10 tons, with bulletproof glass and defensive countermeasures.
“I don’t want to get into its capabilities. But it can do a lot,” Curran said.
He’s added a medical response truck, housing a trauma unit and a field surgeon ready to treat gunshot wounds. There’s also a new armored personnel carrier in the president’s motorcade.
“When you look at some of the significant civil disturbance events we’ve had, how do you move people? You look at getting teams to the Capitol during the January 6th event. This provides us the ability to get people where they need to be and take care of them. Keep them safe,” Quinn said.
“The mission is to protect the president of the United States”
That protection extends to the new Air Force One, a 747 donated by the Middle Eastern country of Qatar. It cost the U.S. nearly $400 million to add security enhancements to that plane, according to the U.S. Air Force.
Curran said the plane is trusted, but declined to explain what was behind that trust.
Despite his confidence, the Secret Service would not let the president fly home on that plane from Turkey in July after intelligence reports of an Iranian plot to fire a missile at the presidential jet. Mr. Trump was secretly slipped away to another plane, while Cabinet members, White House staff, the press and Secret Service agents were left on the decoy plane — the old Air Force One.
“That’s not the first time we’ve done that,” Curran said. “We wish that wasn’t reported, because that takes some of our tactics away from being able to do something similar again. It certainly wasn’t the first time where we did something like that.”
Curran wouldn’t specifically say whether Mr. Trump had been on a decoy plane on other occasions. Quinn stressed that the focus is on keeping the president safe.
“When you’re operating in any protective detail with the president of the United States, for any president, the priority is the president,” Quinn said. “Everyone else — staff, agents, media, personnel involved — are not the priority, including our own personnel. As hard as that may be for some to understand, the mission is to protect the president of the United States.”
