I think this is bigger than just THAT SS agent. Look thru the pics on Drudge, and you'll see that the ENTIRE SS security detail was kept out. Scary s**t.
Strange stuff. With the level of animosity the President and his detail need to be careful. Especially in an relatively unstable country like like Chile.
Chilean police getting between the President and his security. Crazy stuff.
When VP Nixon was in Caracas Venezuala in the late 1950's hostile communist crowds ambushed the Presidential convoy. They set up roadblocks and had their thugs waiting. VP Nixon's secret service where ready to fire on the crowd but Nixon stopped them because he thought shots would enrage the crowd. The convoy managed to cross the median and escape.
Eisenhower ordered available military to the area and was ready to respond against Chile.
A very interesting story detailed in Nixon's book Six Crises. In this case, the Venazualan police disappeared when the crowds started mobbing.
We can not trust S. American police to provide security for our President or dignataries I think.

It doesn't look like they had kept out his entire detail. There are at least three people who look like secret service agents. Both men to the President's right have earpieces and one appears to have the same vest as the President is wearing under his suitcoat.
However, the dispute has taken their focus away from the President which is a critical problem.
