Saw him up close and personal on ACK one year* and his detail even then was fairly impressive. His son (the more recent president) only gets 10years of protection, Those from Clinton going backwards, get it for life. I think Nixon is the only president to have signed off on his protection* claiming he didn't need it.
*after he left office

Flavio Briatore at T5 a few hours ago en route to NCE.
Shouting manically into his phone just as he was in the recent QPR documentary. Not sure if he was talking as much *ollocks as he seemed to be throughout that film.

I was under the impression that Presidents of the US only get 10 years secret service protection after leaving office........ His ten years are way up by now.

Up too and including Clinton, so that would include Bush senior, they get secret service protection for life. Starting with George W Bush they only get 10 years worth of protection.
