>WASHINGTON D.C. -- Ten departments spent $5.1 million in less than three
>years on security for Cabinet secretaries, with guards sometimes providing
>personal services like carrying luggage, a government report said.
>
>Spending for security for top Cabinet officials over the period ranged from
>$817 for one department to $1.2 million at another, the GAO said.
>
>All of the guards the GAO interviewed said they were never asked to perform
>personal duties for the officials, but agents at three departments said they
>sometimes carried baggage either as a courtesy or because they considered it
>a security-related task.
>
>The news reports that prompted the GAO probe said bodyguards were used for
>personal services like washing cars, speeding bags through airports and
>escorting officials to movie theaters.
^^^^^^^^^   All part of the job ( maybe not in government though ) ^^^^^^^

>
>At two of four departments where the GAO interviewed agents, two agents said
>they had not received executive protection training but were scheduled to
>attend training sessions.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
= =  This is my favorite part.  Security agents assigned bodyguard

MAGNET = = =   ed.

>Security officials at six of the 10 departments said the secretaries had
>received specific death threats. Guards at five of the departments also
>reported that they kept potentially dangerous individuals from entering the
>secretaries' offices.
>
>``Uninvited visitors included an individual who sent gifts and dozens of
>letters of an admiring nature to an official, an individual who stalked an
>official, and members of a protest group,'' the report said.
>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This last paragraph is also pretty typical of what
you would find working for a multi-national corporation = =
