Ed,
What you're on to, I think, is a most important realization regarding attacks on ostensibly well-protected targets -- human and otherwise.
The common denominator you've noticed: security stripping.
Protection was compromised -- if not stripped entirely -- from the following targets of interest: JFK, MLK, Rabin, Diana, 9-11 targets (WTC, Pentagon continental US).
RFK's "security" was minimal and wholly ineffective so as to render the stripping exercise unnecessary. So too with Malcolm X.
Understand that the vast majority of security personnel in all of these cases were NOT complicit in the attacks. Key players in the protective organizations, however, surely were.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.
-- James Lee Burke, Rain Gods
You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
