Security / Bodyguard

What's the strangest request that a client's made?

Asked by Tyalor about 13 years ago

"Could you walk me to my car? I've got about 80Gs in my backpack." Out of curiosity, I asked to hold the bag. It was surprisingly light. And there was at least two times that amount already in the trunk. I distinctly remember thinking that people rob banks for far less.

Is there actually an expectation that you'd throw yourself in front of a bullet that's meant for someone you're guarding?

Absolutely not. You won't find me abandoning the principal to save my own ass if bullets did start flying, but that stems from a personal sense of duty rather than any contractual obligation. The bright side is that your average celebrity, no matter how famous, is a relatively low risk for assassination. Nightclub doormen and armored car guys are much more likely to be shot at.

Why are bodyguards fat? I get that want to look imposing, but don't you want a fast / agile guy protecting you?

Asked by g.burns77 almost 13 years ago

Does anyone ever hire you not because they ACTUALLY fear for their safety but just because they think having a bodyguard is a status symbol?
