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?

Dumb
And who set this servicing thing up, Obama??? I wouldn’t trust that plane. Check it for tracking devices.
Outrageous
I just don’t understand our country. Can you imagine the bugs placed or maybe even.a bomb.
bring it home
WTF
This is old old news but yes it happened
Why do we let a foreign country service our plane when we have people here in this country perfectly capable of doing it that need to work ?
If true, that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard!
I can’t believe that we would let the Middle East maintain Air Force One. Turn it over to Boeing and let them take it apart to make sure it is safe.
