In recent years/decades, I have yet to see/encounter any "dignitary" worthy of my protection, regardless of pay/benefits. Take that as you will.

I am only guessing but it seems like a glamor job taken for the prestige and bragging stories .....as long as ya draw first shift and not guarding the limos on 3rd shift you get to jet around a rub the butts of the rich n powerful and there is plenty of this type of officer /agent around they are one step above ROD retired on duty and you do not wanna go through a door with them.........

Everyone is entitled to set their own standards just as I'm entitled to not agree with them, and choose to extend zero respect of their character/conduct.

Oh... gotta love when they refer to themselves as "elites". "Elite", my ass. Most referred to as such merely have genetic-defect levels of greed, which in the end is detrimental to everyone including themselves.

Problem being, people like that tend to "float" to the top, where they then hire all the best snipers and security personnel, or at least mediocre ones who are then provided with the best equipment

I always reminded myself that I protected the office, not necessarily the individual in it at that exact time. Kind of like you respect the rank, not the person wearing it. Just so anyone doesn't get the wrong idea, while I was the dude in the suit and the earpiece a (very) few times, most of the time I was in full kit with a suppressed SBR and stuffed in a nearby closet, kitchen, unused office, vehicle, or other dead space. Also, it was in addition to other duties. I was never a full-time dignitary guy who traveled with them. Probably why I'm still married!

As far as rubbing butts of the rich and powerful, yeah, not really. All the ones I was around pretty much ignored us. I never tried to talk to any of them, either. Just wouldn't have seemed appropriate.
