I'm not a big music person in general, but it's interesting you would mention one of the biggest celebrities in the past few years in pop music as someone who doesn't make your list. What is your criteria for those that do?

World leaders. Public officials. People whose kidnap or assassination could destabilize nations. Not private citizens going to and from civilian work. Im in vancouver. If every a-lister in town to film a movie was escorted nobody else would ever get to work.

  She is easily classified as non-private.

    Unless she is elected to or employed by government, she is a private citizen. It isnt about fame. Every buck private in the army is a public employee. Every movie star is in the private sector.

  That's all very interesting, but before and after a concert, sporting event, big talk, etc., it makes no sense to not have protection to ensure so that the main attraction can perform once again. Them "going to and from work" is not the same as you taking your Ford Windstar to Initech after you drop off your kids at daycare. Let me ask you something. Why do you insure your home? It's dispensable, and surely not as important as the World Trade Center, so why do you even bother? Because it's important to you, that's why. These high-status people, although meaningless to you as you sit at your keyboard in the presence of your monitor glow, are important to many people. Businesses, brands, even separate industries entirely all have a stake. Why wouldn't they protect that when their person or team of interest is minutes to hours after they've been in the spotlight? Co mon here... These escorts are necessary and many, many people have collaborated for a reason to have them. What if someone stood up and suggested them unnecessary and a useless cost? Would they receive a large bonus from the money everyone will save? Or would they be laughed out of the room followed by a letter to clean out their desk by the end of the day? If that causes downtown Vancouver traffic to be marginally slower from 6:00pm to 6:10pm and 9:00pm to 9:10pm on event night, sorry, you're off to the side shaking your fist. Reserving it for the very top of human existence (and frankly, only of political interest) and anything under as unworthy and a waste of resources is... I have no words.
