Actually he does. But he was one this ‘security detail’ kick long before he created real enemies for himself.

Isn’t the host country generally responsible for security? So this is in addition to what the Aussies are providing, right? How many tens of millions is this costing us?

When he’s no longer the _resident,I wonder how he’ll manage. His withdrawal symptoms without excess security would be a nightmare.

There has to be a law which would require an exPresident to pay all expenses incured during his presidency.

HUH?

500 Secret Service Agents?

Who knew we even had that many?

I wonder if there will be any left behind to protect our "Gaffe-Master Extraordinaire" Joe "Plugs" Biden?

On 2nd thought who would want to take ol' Joe out anyway, other than those from his own Party of Surrender and Defeat (the Demo-Rats) who are embarrassed almost daily by his "faux pas" and "foot-in-mouth disease?"

As an aside I read that Bambi's trip will cost $9 Mil, but that didn't take into consideration the cost of all of his entourage, the military protection, his armored limos and helo's as well as all of these SS service personnel who most will probably end up spending days (if not weeks) preparing to his Royal Highness' visit.

“Excuse me, but what good are fighter jets in one-man protection?”

They could deliver a “Darwin Award”.
