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
Yeah exactly…… What could possibly go wrong….. Like place a bomb on Air Force One????
my wishes are my own, and they selfish
That’s because Obama is one of them!
Why isn’t it being kept in the USA for USA workers……??????
At least have it fumigated
I would not trust anything done oversees. I see them placing a nuke in it for Trump. At the very least, they would have access to its tech.
no place in america can work on planes anymore????wow great leadership,, no sense at all.
First and foremost air force one belongs to the US Air Force, manned by active duty air force personnel. And I can not see the air force turning maintenance to any one other then there crack maintenance crews.
Linda Andrew More than likely Trump would fly his own plane at his own expenses.
