The president’s Oval office is fitted with sensors and alarms to keep the president safe at all times, even when out of sight of Secret Service agents.

The Beast

“The Beast” is the nickname for the president’s custom-built Cadillac limousine. This car weighs around 15,000 to 20,000 pounds (6,800 to 9,071 kg) and costs an estimated $1.5 million. The Secret Service is believed to keep about 12 copies of the vehicle. The Beast is outfitted with many offensive and defensive measures:

✓ Each of the doors is 8 inches (20 cm) thick and completely seals the cabin to prevent chemical or biological attacks.

✓ The windows are made of 5-inch- (13 cm) thick bulletproof glass.

✓ It has bulletproof tires, and the body has armor plating and is both bulletproof and bombproof.

✓ The fuel tank is armor-plated and covered in special foam to keep it from being damaged in a collision or by bullets.

✓ Its bodywork is made from a variety of strong materials, including steel, aluminum, titanium, and ceramics.

✓ It is equipped with night vision cameras, GPS tracking, and a satellite communication system to allow it to drive in any conditions and so that the president can always be contacted.

✓ It has a supply of oxygen and emergency medical equipment, including bottles of blood that are the president’s blood type, in case the ambulance that travels in the motorcade is cut off.
