BECOMING BULLET PROOF – September 11, 2001, It sounded like a garbage truck had dropped out of the sky. The rattling of a thousand pieces of metal and glass and concrete reverberated around us, piercing a hole into the quiet September morning. But neither I nor my colleagues in the United States Secret Service’s (USSS) New York Field Officer had any idea what was about to happen.
The Secret Service occupied the 9th and 10th floors of the forty-seven – story building that was World Trade Center 7. I had gone into work early that day to
meet with our United States Customs Service liaison, Lenny, who I hoped
would be able to help me apprehend a Frenchman I was pursuing for a fraud
investigation.
