Now that the Kennedy tapes -- Jacqueline Kennedy's conversation with Arthur  Schlesinger -- has been released, here's more information.

Jackie revealed that US President John F Kennedy had told his Secret Service agents three years before his assassination that no one was going to shoot him and complained that his security was excessive. 

Following his 1960 election, Kennedy told an aide that Secret Service security was excessive and he was not at risk of being killed. "They're making me uncomfortable. Nobody is going to shoot me, so tell them to relax,' he said at that time.  

Kennedy was, however, gunned down in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963 by Lee Harvey Oswald. His assassination sparked off a string of conspiracy theories.
