There are also pictures taken elsewhere when they weren't close behind and as DVP's picture shows the Queen Mary was sometimes farther back than it was in Dallas. Those decisions were made on a case by case basis. Some of the pictures you posted show agents close by earlier in the motorcade route. They got close when the crowds got close. There was no SS stand down in Dallas. JFK got the same level of protection that he hard received in numerous other places both home and abroad.
So the question remains - how did they manage to give the same level of protection when they left agents at the airport instead of their assigned spots?
The two agents who stood down at Love Field were scheduled to do so and prepare Air Force One at the end of their shift.
There is NOTHING conspiratorial about that and teh same level of protection WAS provided in Dallas. The exact positions of the agents and outriders is a dynamic fluid situation and their positions will move over the parade EVERY time there is one.

The Secret Service shift assignments sheet for 11/22/63 list Rybka & Lawton as the two agents assigned to the rear of the Presidential limo.
So the question remains... how could they have supplied the same level of protection when they were short two agents in critical positions?
