Richard Nixon also gave up his Secret Service protection late in his wife. One time while I was watching a New York Giants game the camera was on Nixon briefly during the game. He was sitting in the stands wearing a top coat and no hat. I also heard that he went to New York Yankee games and sat in the stands with all of the other fans.

Good point. Probably not.

I assume the reason is for security. The agent goes to get a candy bar, for example, due to what I’ll call chain of possession. They can know it’s not tainted or poisoned. If a gopher went I bet an agent would have to accompany the gopher.
