Helen,
Before the echoes of coordinated gunfire had faded from Dealey Plaza, JFK was being patsied in his own murder.
Research, including multiple interviews of primary sources, conducted in the main by Vince Palamara demonstrates convincingly that the president seldom if ever attempted to interfere with SS procedures.
JFK did not order agents off his car on 11/22/63. He did not strip his own security. Ever.
You may recall his poignant assessment offered near the end: "There was a problem, but the Secret Service took care of it."
I have gone so far as to speculate that the so-called threats in Miami and Chicago were designed not to increase tensions, but to ease them. In terms of the latter: With the arrest of Thomas Arthur Vallee (a veritable LHO clone) and the reported flight of a hit team armed with rifles, a plausible case could have been made for the elimination of a conspiracy which, in its design, conformed to the outlines of long-rumored operations.
Thus, the Secret Service "took care of" the sniper team-plus-patsy conspiracy about which warnings had been issued (independently or otherwise by Messrs. Nagell and Oswald, perhaps), and the president and his guards could afford to relax -- at least a little.
The Chicago plot also stands as one of the many doppelganger gambits (two Oswalds, two brains, two autopsies, etc.) that permeate Kennedy assassination discoveries and serve to confuse investigators and ultimately insulate the guilty.
A tale for another campfire: I can argue that two mini-motorcades were utilized to confuse the perceptions of Parisian eye witnesses on the night Diana was killed.
