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?

I’m sure he doesn’t know.
It needs to be brought back to the United States for Inspection with the way things are going right now abroad for his sake and those who fly on it. They should not be trusted we have Citizens her in the United States that are qualified to work on the Aircraft.
Why not USAF maintenance personnel…
Why,just why the hell is this happening ??!!??
