So why didn't the Secret Service shoot him down?

Maybe it was Britain's job to protect the perimeter in Britain.  And maybe Britains would rather allow a potential terrorist to glide through than risk giving him a booboo and angering a large voting bloc.

Both Special Branch and the US Secret Service get the blame for that one. 

Just because someone gets in close proximity to the President does not give law enforcement the authorization to kill that person. That person has to demonstrate a viable threat and a PLF doesn't qualify.

That's why skeet load is ideal.  It would have made him think.
