I remember seeing a video a couple of years ago where one of the President's SS guys got blocked by the security of whatever country they were visiting at the time. Dubya abruptly veered away from a conversation with the leader of the nation, went back and forcibly pulled his guard through the crowd rather than let him be harrassed.

Does anyone remember the details better than I or have the video?

Here, Somebody dug the blurb out for me the other day:

"U.S. President George W. Bush (R) stops to wave while being escorted by Chilean President Ricardo Lagos into La Moneda Palace, at the beginning of a state visit after the closing of the annual meeting of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in Santiago, November 21, 2004....Winding up a three-day visit, Bush spoke at a news conference as a new security flap surfaced following an embarrassing fracas on Saturday in which Bush intervened and pulled his Secret Service agent away from Chilean guards. An elaborate state dinner with 200 people Sunday was downgraded to an official working dinner, reportedly because Chilean President Ricardo Lagos balked at Secret Service demands for guests to walk through metal detectors.
