Kim Kardashian wants to make it clear to anyone who's even thinking of pulling off a heist at her expense ... you could end up dead, because she's amping up her security to Presidential levels.

Sources close to Kim tell us ... her new security detail includes former members of the Secret Service, who will be armed to the teeth.

There will be at least one team of 2 hired muscles (minimum) everywhere she goes. We're also told her car will be "armored."

We're told after the Paris robbery Kim met with some ex-special force members from the Israeli army, ex-CIA agents as well as former Secret Service members. Kanye met with owners of 2 top security firms.

As for Pascal Duvier ... he still has a job.

We're also told Kris Jenner is heavily involved in security meetings, and plans to get protection for Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie ... stat.

We've heard nothing about Rob.

No word on Kim's code name.
