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 Bull!!! The two 747’s generally performing the role of Air Force One are US Miltary Aircraft and are maintained by the US Air Force’s Presidential Airlift Group located at Andrews Air Force Base, and is part of the White House Military Office.

Trump needs to find other transportation until this plane is checked out. In the meantime Obama and family can use it or some of the Dems or even McCain etc
Seems kinda stupid. Only takes a couple lines of code in an ancillary computer control system to hack a ststem.
