First, President Obama is not the only president who has had secret service protection-- since 1901, when President McKinley was assassinated, it was decided that presidents needed to be protected from potential threats. Other countries too have a secret service, although it may not be called by the same name as the one in America; but the majority of industrialized nations have some sort of agency to protect its leaders. In Greece, it is called the National Intelligence Service, and the abbreviation is the EYP. There are also sometimes special details of police who protect the Greek prime minister.
