I think the silly costumes make people think that these are "actors" / performers and not real guards. They are highly trained guards... their guns are real and loaded... If you're not allowed to cross the line, it's a bad idea to do so for a selfie

Yeah I agree with this.

I actually have a friend who thought they were just there for decoration and touristy reasons and tried to get a selfie with her hands on him That went...well. Shes not the brightest spark generally mind, so I can understand why she thought that but he was (understandably) not impressed and reacted in a similar way to the guard in this story..everyone on FB was all 'oh poor you, thats unnecessary' and I just laughed at her stupidity, and brought the wrath of FB onto mysef
