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.

Why allow for the possibility in the first place?

All spin based on the USA Today article, that shows what garbage this opinion piece is.
If you click through to the USA Today article, this c**p was based on, you’ll see it’s all spin to get morons up in arms. It worked!
Most of these people can’t, or won’t, get past the click-bait headline, so they don’t realize that.
