I just saw another media talking head say that a "thermal drone" wouldn't have detected Routh's heat signature in "south Florida temperatures" so I'm uploading this clip for all media outlets to download and use the next time this topic comes up.
This was filmed with a PARD Ocelot 640 (review is coming...) which likely isn't anywhere near as clear (it's also much cheaper) as what the Secret Service would buy with their $3 billion dollar budget.
In the footage:
-I'm about ~78 feet from the optic
-in the shade
-on a sunny day (visible spectrum lighting conditions in the right side photo)
-it was 92 degrees and pretty humid at the time
You can CLEARLY see me glowing in the footage. A drone likely would have been somewhat more obscured but, at an angle, that would be minimized.
Additionally, they make very inexpensive handheld monoculars that agents could use to scan woodlines and other areas that are hard for the human eye to see.

Wild video here. Before getting into what happens in this video it's important to know the officer here had responded to the same address the night before regarding a potential home invasion and talked extensively to the home owner.
The next evening (in this video) the home owner called 911 because a man had broken into the home wearing a "red ski mask" and "dark colored clothing."
The officer responds, sees the homeowner (again, who he talked to the night before) struggling with the intruder who had a knife. Officer gives a command for them to drop the knife then opens fire on the home owner, killing him.
Footage has been released as part of an ongoing lawsuit by the home owner's daughter.

The victim here is lucky the stabber chose the ice pick grip. In space it's generally very efficient at reaching the vitals.
Plan accordingly.... 🔪

I believe we had a bunch of B2s on Diego Garcia a couple months ago. At this point we may want to look at just leaving them there to simplify logistics...
"U.S. Air Force B-2 stealth bombers have departed from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri with aerial refuelling support from eight KC-135 Stratotankers.
The aircraft appear to be heading toward Diego Garcia, a strategic U.S. military base in the Indian Ocean." -UK Mail
