An oldie, but still very current. This video shows the arrival of Condoleezza Rice at Brussels Airport. Diplomatic Security agent argues with a Belgian State Security agent and the protocol service, almost getting into a fight, WHILE Ms. Rice is already OUT OF THE PLANE and on her way down the stairs…
Lessons learned:
– Make good and proper arrangements PRIOR to the arrival of your principal with the local security teams;
– Be diplomatic, even if that means biting your tongue from time to time;
– Your ego is not the one needing protection;
– Cameras are ALWAYS watching your protection detail.
