Gordon Brown, former UK PM, on 1A of Delta Shuttle flight (DL5917) from LGA to DCA on 4/13. Escorted in before FC boarded by a couple of State Dept / Secret Service earpiece-wearing agents. He was furiously scribbling away on a sheaf of notes by the time general boarding started. He was met by another set of "agents" and British Embassy types.
Do all former heads of government merit this kind of treatment or is it only for special allies and friends ?
