Interesting point. Could the rent-a-cops at the Bamboozlepalooza events who pretend to be Secret Service agents when they boot (non-Bush-True) attendees be breaking the law?

Late Update: Let me clarify this point. Precisely what happened here is unclear. What we know is that the ejectees say they were removed by men whose dress, accoutrement and bearing appeared to them be those of Secret Service agents. The ejectees have further said that Secret Service officials subsequently denied that their agents were involved. However, I do not believe there is any evidence that said rent-a-cops verbally identified themselves as members of the Secret Service.
