The President of the United States is likely the most threatened man in the world. As a man who is likely constantly running from impending assassination, it’s surprising that we are just now learning that the Obama Administration entrusts a Middle East company with the servicing of the President’s airplane.
An attack against Air Force One would be an attack on both the President and an Icon of American diplomacy, and is for that reason no doubt an attractive — if once unattainable — target for terrorists around the world.
With this revelation, though, a path to the president through the Middle East has been opened. While the White House is adamant that security measures are in place that would ensure that anyone with contact with the plane is thoroughly vetted, the question remains:
Why allow for the possibility in the first place?

WTF? Safety of potus just went down the tubes
In an tell the majority of the people posting here did not actually read the story all the way through
!!!!!!
That’s OK because Trump won’t need it come January next year!!
Not a good idea
To let foreigners service this plane, with the world at each others throat is stupid, what are hey doing setting it up for failure once Obama leaves, to bring down the new President.
This is a good thing.
One can only hope nothing happens when it’s over the Atlantic.
Wrong on so many fronts !!!!! First…..Obama’s “friends” would do WAY better to service Air Force One….than the country it’s flying from….Second…..probably “several immigrants” are probably already on board….and….there’s no verification on ANYONE on board that have a valid passport !!!!!! LOL !!!!!
I’m beting this is false. With what’s on board, secret stuff, there’s no way servicing outside the country will fly.
