Most likely paid for it. If I was travelling to anywhere apart from US, Canada, UK, Europe, Australia or New Zealand that would be my ideal security entourage.

His choice....Many celebrities in America also travel with "bodyguards" its more of a culture than a need...Like Salman Khan and other celebrities in india do the same....
