Go a step further and detain them in safe houses... claim that because of their decision their have been death threats and its in the interest of natuonal security. Give them basically no freedom of movement or agency of their lives... I bet they would change their tune quickly.

Trust me. Swapping out security details like that is enough. More than enough.

You swap out a single driver unexpectedly, and most these paranoid wankers notice. They’d freak out. You remove every one they’re used to?

Oh they’d be screaming bloody murder before they ever got on the car.

The point is to retain the prima facie moral high ground while making the point…
