Presidential visits to occupied public places

[rp_photo]

We often see in the news accounts of where the President goes into a busy restaurant, orders food, mingles for a bit, and leaves.

It appears to be spontaneous, but I'm sure that's not the reality.

What is done to sweep and secure the location beforehand? Is the venue cleared for a period of time with those who enter subjected to screening?

Are the venues chosen well in advance and are the owners informed?

What if a CHL is otherwise legally carrying in the immediate area?
