2 ways to give the Secret Service a collective ulcer

The President and Mrs. Bush must give the Secret Service a collective ulcer. First, the President makes a statement by visiting Georgia, a rather unstable nation. While there, a live grenade is found withing 100 feet of the President. Now the First Lady gets into the act, making a very public appearance in Israel, where protestors mobbed the first lady, leaving security in a vulnerable position where they had to ring the First Lady to get through the protestors. I'm sure Mr. and Mrs. Bush are doing things they believe have to be done, but I'd be willing to bet that the Secret Service is of the opinion that they are taking unnecessary risks. And if they are of that opinion, I'd agree with them.
