1. NOT "Michael Moore's bodyguard"!
Not your fault; it's that misleading headline again
http://www.macleans.ca/culture/news/shownews.jsp?content=e012063A

... The bodyguard, who works for the California-based security firm Gavin de Becker & Associates, told police he had travelled to New York with Moore earlier this month, Ciavolella said. He produced licences for his Mauser handgun from California and Florida, but not New York, which prompted his arrest.

Burk has been assigned to protect Moore at times in the past, but is not his personal bodyguard, Gavin de Becker said.
