Marvin Bush was no longer listed as a shareholder by the end of 2000. The chairman of the board of Stratesec is Wirt Walker, who is unrelated. Stratasec had contracts to provide security for United Airlines, Dulles International Airport (the airport from which American Airlines Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon, took off), and the World Trade Center in New York up to 10 September 2001, just before the September 11, 2001 attacks.[1]

With his father being a former one-term president, his brother, George W., a two-term president, and his brother Jeb, a two-term governor, there is speculation that Marvin Bush will also go into politics. Over the past decade, Marvin has engaged in a multitude of campaign and fundraising events. His brothers George and Jeb both positioned themselves as businessmen prior to going into politics.
