Read my comment - the medic/trauma doc does not follow the inner protective circle - he usually hangs back in the second ring of security in case of an attack, you don't want your MED being injured KIA as well. And, they carry modern trauma bags, not a leather attache. My doc grandpa had a MD bag like that....in the 50s.
Here's a comment I found on Twitter.
"Not saying it’s not what you guys are saying,but as a corporate pilot that flew for both Bushes, and the Clintons a few times all after they were President. Their Secret Service detail always carried a go-medical bag for the just in case scenario of getting shot or poisened"
It could also contain emergency response items like a gas mask.
I was just speculating on what it could, it's definitely not the Nuclear football though. Any other ideas what it could be?
Have you seen what the "football" is carried in? Not saying it is, just saying that the cases look nearly identical and there isn't a logical explanation for what else it could be.
Did you watch the footage, the SS agent just drops it down on the asphalt behind him like it's his luggage at the airport, and turns his back on it. There is no way they would handle the football like that

I provide you with a very logical explanation, and all you do is downvote me? LOL
The guys head is on a swivel - he's not an attorney.
The guy is not acting in a protective capacity, so he is not part of the actual USSS detail.
1 and 2 indicate to me he is MIL.
He did not set down the bag as you claimed earlier - at least in the video above.
USSS medics carry their kit in something like this, although more discreet: https://www.cromedicalgear.com/collections/aid-bags/products/dcr-9l And the doctor/medic is usually in ring 2 (support), not ring 1 in the event of a MASCAS, he is not injured.
Bag man is allowed to stay right up against ring 1 indicating that he is inner circle.
The football looks like this: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nlNguUimyu8/maxresdefault.jpg
Again, I will say that there is no way of knowing what was in it. Most photos show that football as a 2 case system, but some show individually.
