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?

Not a good idea!
Was that Obama’s idea? I don’t like it.
Are they crazy
Clearly would not get on it untill.gone ovr with a fine tooth comb . Hey he has his own and since he is a down to earth person is not above going coach
Please do not ride that plane.
This article is a bit sensationalized. It’s a company on American soil, on contract with Boeing. But still I would think the feds would vet the company a bit better.
Why didn’t an American company do this??????
No way this should have ever happened!
Exactly
What the heck? Stupid stupid stupid.
