Interview with Nixon Secret Service Agent

Here's an interview with Thomas D. Sloan, who spent three and a half years protecting the Nixons at their Saddle River, NJ, home in the 1980s. The "waterlogged and mold-riddled" house will soon be demolished by its current owner; the closed-circuit security system and guard booth from the home will be donated to a local museum.

"We used to have people who were nosy and used to try to come on the property -- to push the envelope," Sloan said. "People used to pull up to the gate, and of course we'd be alerted because of the motion detectors and infrared cameras. We'd walk out there and tell them it was private property. If they'd try to come back and social-engineer their way back on, it never worked."
