The IT guy had to go on another job, and left me monitor the stuff we were working on here.
It's a bloody good thing I'm honorable, or else I would take advantage of this.

Yeah, that's not obvious
"In the first debate the bulges create the impression of a letter T with a small feature which appears similar to a wire under the jacket running upward from the right. In the second and third debates the jacket has a generally padded shape across a large part of the entire back which tapers inward toward the spine in a downward direction. This is consistent with the hypothesis that a pad was inserted to conceal the T-shaped device seen in the first debate."
The cynic in me wants to say HA! Gotcha! But part of me also wonders if it isn't Secret Service procedure to have the President wired, especially at a public event. Not so much so they can feed things TO him, but so that they can aware of everything going on up on stage. Accepting that premise, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to understand why they didn't mention/confirm the wire's presence. After all, it would compromise security if they made any part of their procedure public.
Then again, maybe it's exactly what it looks like, and why the heck are the media suppressing it? It's a simple enough matter to spin this as a matter of security, and the Secret Service doesn't comment on such matters. Story over.
