I have a friend who is a top Wal-Mart buyer, they flew down to Honduras in a company jet with American bodyguards, met at the airport by 2 truckloads of local guards with machine guns, dozens of guards went with them wherever they went. I did not know Honduras is the most dangerous country in terms of kidnapping, I thought Colombia is the worst. Company/insurance required that he has bodyguard(s) when he is in most foreign countries, same for other higher level people. When my wife and I visited him in a foreign country, his driver and bodyguards gave us and his wife full coverage when we went out shopping.
I have some friends in foreign countries, for them kidnapping is a real concern; bodyguard, driver and maid to drop off and pick up kids at school is quite common, such as the Phillipines. Talk about quality living standard in the good old USA!
