Trump is not responsible for his security though, secret service is. Would think that those guys would know to not wear random trackers with them

    Pretty sure the secret service is responsible for protecting Trump. The rest of his campaign security is the job of the campaign, which is famously cheap.

    And it's in the Secret Service's interest to have certain rules for any additional security operating an an event they're responsible for protecting. That's literally their job...

    Yes but thr farther they get from the protected the less oversight.

    I guess that depends on the reason they're further from the VIP. If it's because they're prepping for a visit, it should have just as much oversight as if they're with the individual. If they're merely doing mundane work (say, cleaning up after a visit), then sure, allow some leeway. But in general, if they're on the clock, they shouldn't have any trackers outside of ones issued for the purposes of their job.
