Honolulu Mayor: Secret Service Frowns Too Much

John Hook/Civil Beat

Let's just say Honolulu officials are pleased with how APEC went.

So pleased, in fact, that Mayor Peter Carlisle's lone gripe about the week-long economic summit is that visiting U.S. Secret Service agents didn't smile enough.

"I think that there is sometimes with certain parts of the federal government, a sort of a 'let's say no' rather than work the problem, and I'm speaking specifically about some of the behavior of some of the members of the Secret Service," Carlisle said Wednesday.

"I don't think it's a good idea to have people who are frowning all the time. I think that that ends up annoying people and being confrontational."
