Guard fired after Obama visit: I'm not a convict

Atlanta - A security guard fired after President Barack Obama's trip to Atlanta said on Monday that he lost his job because he snapped a picture of the presidential motorcade to send to his mother and is humiliated by news reports wrongly claiming he's a convicted felon.

Kenneth Tate, 49, worked as a guard for Professional Security Corporate, a security contractor at the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. As part of his job duties, he carried a concealed .40-caliber handgun issued to him daily by his employer.

He rode in an elevator with Obama during the president's 16 September visit to the CDC, though the US Secret Service was apparently unaware that Tate was armed.
