On the Secret Service, you don't automatically get protection, you have to request it. It does not look like Cruz or Rubio have so far.

the last request I can find is at the end of January, Sanders requested it. They said he would be the fourth one to get it. Others receiving it are Trump, Carson, and Clinton.

All I can find on Rubio is that he has mocked Trump for being the first one to request it.

Also found an article saying if Carson sticks it out to the end, the SS protection for him will cost millions while there seems to be little threat to him now.

Responses:

huh. I thought they had all requested it by now. -- nm* - decline Feb 29, 11:16 1

Carson will stay as long as he keeps getting paid. He probably rents his security out for a little extra pocket change -- nm* - Beaker Feb 29, 10:54 1
