As Donald Trump conducts a free-wheeling transition from his Mar-a-Lago estate, the federal agencies charged with protecting the president-elect and his communications face a daunting task. Security at Mar-a-Lago has been ramped up since the election, with the Secret Service increasing its presence and deploying robot dogs for surveillance and explosive material detection. The US Coast Guard also patrols nearby waterways.
However, the lack of restrictions on Mar-a-Lago club members' guests poses a significant security challenge. Sources indicate that fully preparing for this chaotic scene is nearly impossible.
