Quick politics/policy question

Clones! The secret service is using clones!

This feels a bit more like a Twitter thing than a blog post, but it’s a bit too complicated for Twitter to handle, so you get it instead.

John Kerry broke his leg while cycling in France today, and it got me wondering: What level of bodyguarding/security do we provide people like upper-level Cabinet members and members of Congress when they go overseas?  The article mentions Kerry’s motorcade but doesn’t give any indication of who was in it.  Does the Secret Service handle stuff like that, or do they just work with the President and VP?

Yes I know I could Google this.  I’d rather ask y’all; somebody out there knows.

Later today: Saleswanking!

    That’s actually a very good question. Were the secret service cycling with him? I don’t think he has Secret Service protection. But I’m not sure why I think that.

  2. The Bureau of Diplomatic Security. They provide protection for upper level government officials overseas, but they are also in charge of providing security for foreign dignitaries when they come to the US as well.
