Does John Kerry still have Secret Service protection?

[osaMABUSh]

Kerry was assigned Secret Service back in the spring when he sewed up the nomination.

Did his protection end on Nov. 2nd (election), 3rd (concession), or Dec. 13th (electors voted)?

Or is it continuing today until Congress certifies the electoral college or beyond?

already left (read that someplace).

7. People with the campaign blogged that

they had been to a get together after the election where he said goodbye to his SS guys.

They've been gone since about a week after the election.

8. I'm uncomfortable that it's being discussed here.

Because of the kind of folks we sometimes have "visit" us. Sooooo, I heard he has hired 100 bodyguards since the Secret Service left...
