this agent was also the guy with the football - which is NEVER to be be out of reach of the president.
Bush, shoving the Chilean agents aside and saying: "Get you hands off of him!" grabbed hold of his agent and polled him through. (This was the agent with the football, from which the Pres. is never to be our of reach.)
The video was priceless...
Then Bush, nonchalantly, turned, adjusted his shirt-cuff and returned to the First Lady and others without skipping a beat. A great Texas Gentlemen moment

IIRC, the Football is carried by a military office and not a Secret Service agent.

Football? I've wondered if that was not a trap and what would have happened if he had went forward instead of back. We'll never know.

The incident could have gotten incredibly ugly. The Secret Service detail might well have assumed (arguably, should have assumed) that this was an assassination attempt, and acted accordingly.
