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?
A President has to be able to make those choices. They make those choices every fucking day when other people's children's lives are at stake (often minors, not adults). If they can't do it--then they're not fit to be President.
And it still doesn't explain why the fuck we still protect past Presidents. They can afford their own damn security. (Just as the adult children of Presidents can afford their own)
