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?
USA Today has the facts on the next page. Check them out:
How is this even possible. Is there anyone reliable in government today?
He has his own ride that is probably better.
Press plane is the best idea.
This has to be b******t? But with Oduma who knows?
He will just use the trump plane ,more classy then airforce one !

Should be American all the way. What the heck are they doing?
make all the dems use that plane.
This is total BS, I have been in the Air Force one hanger and spoken with the USAF personell about the aircraft there. The routine up-keep, maintenance and inspections are performed by USAF aircraft maintenance troops with at least a “7” skill level. Heavy maintenance and in-depth inspections are done under contract with Boeing. I will guarantee you that no one without US citizenship and at least a Top Secret security clearance will board that aircraft!!
