    Jokes aside about the SA, sorry SS, protecting one privileged group of individuals…

    At what point should an ex-president lose SS? Is it forever just because they held power? What happens if they start to suffer dementia and start blurting out secrets?

      It’s just my opinion but forever. They are at more of risk because of their previous job. As such spending money to protect them isn’t a crazy idea to me.

      Obama had Bin Laden killed. I wouldn’t be surprised if some terrorist group wants to kill him in return.
