I'm pretty sure that the decision to provide security to candidates (not
senators per se) lies with the Secret Service and could not be refused.


SS protection can be refused. Nixon, for example, released the SS several
years after he resigned. I'm not sure if he retained private bodyguards, or
whether he just gave up on having bodyguards altoghether, but it does show
that a "principal" can tell the SS to get lost if he or she wants to.


Has nobody watched "Guarding Tess" lately?
