7. There is only one agent who was killed in the line of duty.

6. They keep their headquarters a secret.

The Secret Service headquarters is located in Washington in a building without any identification signs. There aren’t even any trash cans nearby (so there is no place to install a bomb). The building is situated on a street with an extremely short name: H Street.
