Well, it's "cash flow," don't you know? Creates a lot of jobs. Candidly, I don't think politicians (not just Bush) should have all that "security": they should endure the same risk as the rest of us, and suffer the consequences of their performance(s). A really determined assassin can "take out" anyone--in the fashion of Oswald. (NSA and SS take note.) If politicians at any level are paranoid (one wonders why), they should provide their own security, not at public expense, but from their own resources. In my opinion.

All streets where he will go are being blocked(No one knows his itinerary), not even journalists will be allowed to be placed in a distance smaller than 260 feet to him. And all streets next to the hotel where he will be hosted are being blocked(Two cabins in a nearby slum were demolished by the city government, people says that there soldiers with machine guns in the neighboorhoods) . And there are rumors that the whole hotel is being vacated to host the emperor. To avoid poisoning, his own crew will be preparing his meals, with ingredients brought from the United States.
