Disagree. There are certain levels of service where this is warranted. Atty Gnrl is one. All Cabinet level positions, IMHO....
We need these guys safe and available at all times... It's in the interest of the USA.
This is a stupid thread.

Maybe some very high level people like the Pres., VP, SECDEF, Sec of State. The rest of the cabinet positions can EAD.

I agree. These cabinet positions are in line for the presidency should something crazy happen. We need them beyond the reach of dangerous people.
With that said, the article said holder's daughters and their boyfriends were passengers to the belmont stakes, in that regard, this is an interesting pic...

Actually it's not an entitlement for all Cabinet-level officials. I know I read an article about Tim Geithner and his detail passing unscreened through airports when he was at treasury (people were pissed that they weren't stopped). I'm sure someone can find the reg, but I believe only State, Defense, Justice, and DHS receive that kind of fulltime support.
From a security perspective, there's really nothing to be done about it unless we lock them down or charge them such exorbitant fees that they spend their entire salaries on a few flights.
FTR, I've legally used taxpayer dollars to take personal trips, and the check that I had to write was much smaller.
