And why the fuck do we protect past Presidents and their families for as long as we do? They were going to put a 10 year limit on it, then said "Nah!" I think a fucking four year limit is fine. After that Presidents should be responsible for their own security. Even Tricky fucking Dick went the private security route.
We protect the adult children of presidents for the same reason we protect their spouses. They're very useful tools if bad people get ahold of them. Would you want a president making choices concerning national security if their 25-year-old kid were being held by foreign powers?
