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?

What ever happen to using American Companies for government business anyway! This is just dumb.
Good luck with that when Trump wins!
Very bad idea
Not after Jan 20 it won’t be!!!
YA GOTTA BE SHITTIN ME…DAM…
I believe the Air Force is responsible for maintaining Air Force One as of now . If I were a president I WOULD WANT TO TRUST ONLY AMERICAN HANDS .
Great ideal until January.
All planes need to be torn apart by trusted Americans and gone through for bugs and Booms

Well I would not fly in that plane again, what’s wrong with Americans working on that plane.
