Serious Question: Can a former or current President choose to go without Secret Service protection and hire his\her own private security?

Former president may waive SS protection. The only consequence is they also stop his classified briefings currently given so he can advise the current president on world affairs.

Current official waiving SS protection is an interesting question I do not know the answer for.
