Dave, this is hilarious, down to the poor schlub who found it being
rebuffed in his request for an autographed picture of Cheney...

SALT LAKE CITY ?? Secret Service agents shopping for Olympics souvenirs
lost a document detailing security plans for Vice President Dick Cheney's
appearance at the closing ceremony, according to The Salt Lake City Tribune.
The agents were at a skateboard and apparel shop near the Rice-Eccles
Stadium, where the closing ceremony was held Sunday night.
According to the store owner, the agents left the document titled "site
post assignment log," the newspaper reported. The Salt Lake Tribune
reported the story Monday after seeing the document.
...
When Greenhalgh called to report the mistake, a Secret Service
representative promised that an agent would pick up the log, the Tribune
reported. After 45 minutes, no one had arrived, so he offered to take it to
the agency's downtown office.
In exchange, Greenhalgh requested an autographed picture of Cheney, but was
rebuffed and then decided to contact the newspaper, the Tribune said.
