He'll be shadowed by Secret Service vans crammed with heavily armed SWAT teams and electronic-warfare gear capable of jamming detonators designed to set off certain explosives. Electronic devices - like those already in use in the D.C. subway - will be used above ground, to sniff the air for biological or chemical agents. They'll be aided by at least four Army dogs that will be sniffing for hidden explosives...
