A hundred feet is quite a distance sometimes.

I could see how the SS could conceivably miss something like that in certain situations when their security perimeter was less than that, and/or perhaps on the move. I'm sure the Georgian security forces were responsible for the outer layers of defense at most points. After all, just how many agents can the President possibly travel with? While big, I'm sure...it can't be that huge.

I think your right, our SS guys would be closer to the prez in case they have to get him out of the area.

The dumbshit who through the grenade forgot to pull the pi. Must have been an amateur. If he was part of a terrorist cell he is probably getting the crap kicked out of him right now. If the grenade had gone off and killed and wounded dozens they would have got almost as much press and that is what they are after.
