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 because of these countries are not safe for the job!
I’d refuse to ever fly in that plan ever again
Not too smart.
Whoa
I remember 20 years ago, the U.S. Air Force did every inch of maintenance of Air Force One. I personally know a man that was in charge of the hydraulics.
I’m with you Wayne!
I was thinking about Trump flying so much lately. Not a good omen. Who made the decision to have his plane serviced there? I pray to our Lordhe flies anything except that plane again!!
Nuts
He needs to cancel that agreement and hire American!! Not some terrorist state!!
Stupid! Service the plane here in the US! Don’t let moose limbs near it!
