Plenty o’ Bodyguards for Pope Benedict

by Matthew Hay Brown
Pope Benedict XVI should feel safe and secure when he steps off Shepherd One this afternoon, thanks to unbelievably tight security measures for his U.S. visit. But those close to the pontiff say he’d prefer to do without the bodyguards and connect with his American flock instead.

Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to line parade routes and attend masses to commemorate Benedict’s first trip to the U.S. as pope. The first papal journey since the 2001 terrorist attacks, this trip also comes on the heels of statements by Osama bin Laden last month that the pontiff has played a “large role” in a crusade against Islam.

U.S. and papal security forces reportedly have tried to strike a balance between the pope’s safety and his role as a religious leader. But in some cases, trying to strike that balance has detracted from the pope’s mission to minister and facilitate interfaith dialogue. (more…)

Private security takes to the sea

With violent maritime piracy and the risk of waterborne terrorism on the
rise, states and non-state actors turn to private security, Patrick Cullen
writes for ISN Security Watch.

By Patrick Cullen in New York for ISN Security Watch (04/04/08)

Piracy, once generally perceived to have been eliminated as a security
threat, has re-emerged as a significant problem for state and non-state
actors alike. Though the number of pirate attacks had waned during the last
few years, new International Maritime Bureau statistics have shown that
piracy is again on the upswing worldwide. This upsurge in piracy – and the
market created for countering this threat – can be conceptualized along
three distinct lines.

Bodyguards

How to Hire a Bodyguard

“Bodyguard” has become a Hollywood term and is probably not what you want. The vocational name is “Executive Protection” or “Personal Security” and specialists are not hard to find. Follow these instructions to ensure you’re getting someone truly qualified to protect another person’s life and well-being.
StepsUnderstand that “Personal Security Officer” is a professional service, so keep your expectations realistic. Look for “Executive Protection” specialists who, like the “Secret Service”, are proactive, clean cut, intelligent, articulate, educated professionals. Contrast these specialists with the stereotypical 400 pound thugs working for Britney Spears or Madonna. These “bodyguards” are actually working as bouncers or bounty hunters and lack specialized training. (more…)
