Every daughter of Obama has six bodyguards.

Some people say that bodyguards are engaged in "catching bullets." Although they have high salaries and high positions, they have to pay more than ordinary people behind the scenery, and may even pay their lives.

It is reported that these black bodyguards who protect Michelle's visit belong to the Secret Service of the US Department of Homeland Security.

Obama's security code name is "Rebel". Generally, when the president goes to the bathroom, bodyguards will follow. If the president drinks water anywhere outside the White House, the bodyguard must take the cup back to the office and dispose of it. The bodyguard who protects Michelle is nicknamed "Fuxing", and the exact number is unknown. Only Obama's two daughters Malia and Sasha each have six bodyguards. Maria's security code is "Glory" and Sasha's security code is "Rosebud". Only in very personal matters can the president's daughter leave the bodyguard's sight.

A field survey will be conducted 48 hours before the visit.

When the "first family" in the United States travels, in addition to following the president's "personal bodyguard" at any time, there are also peripheral bodyguards who play the role of the masses in the crowd and surveillance bodyguards hiding in hidden positions such as roofs. 48 hours before the visit, the Secret Service will send bodyguards to conduct on-the-spot investigation of the place to be visited, and build a command center equipped with a full set of confidential communication equipment in the place to be visited.

During Michelle's visit to China, according to the Daily Mail, united states secret service's bodyguards occupied the elevator on the top floor of the hotel, making it impossible for other guests to take it. When staying in the hotel, the bodyguard should not only check the staff of the hotel, but also check the water quality and air of the hotel, and then block the vicinity of the room and prohibit anyone from approaching.

They are familiar with various assassination methods; Will use all the advanced weapons in the world. Every once in a while, they will also have professional training to master new technologies.

Black suit and sunglasses are essential items.

Black suits, sunglasses and communication headphones are essential for bodyguards. Because sunglasses can not only protect themselves but also shock the enemy. You can stare at anyone through sunglasses, but outsiders can't figure out who the bodyguard is looking at. In addition, it can also deter some people with malicious intentions. When the eyes under sunglasses see someone making an "abrupt" action, the bodyguard will quickly control him and search him.

These bodyguards have the privilege of choosing personal equipment. They can choose weapons and equipment according to their own preferences, but generally they can't hold things in their hands when they are on duty.

Pay well and have a youthful meal.

Since joining the Secret Service, the annual salary of "black bodyguards" is about $654.38+$04,000, and the annual bonus is equivalent to 25% of the annual income. In addition, there are all kinds of living security, including paid vacation every year 13-26 days, and generous pension.

Because these bodyguards have to travel for at least 30 days every 10 week, they can't contact anyone when performing their duties, so their time with their families is very limited. Bodyguards eat a youthful meal, and few people have worked as bodyguards for more than five years.

Most retired bodyguards will return to work in the military and political system or the security department. Many NGOs and international superstars will also compete to issue attractive employment contracts to these retired bodyguards. (Source: Huashang Daily Comprehensive Report Yuan Jinhui)
