What would be the motive? I thought Zero wanted to make nice with the Mooselimbs.
Perhaps you overestimate the competence of the TSA?
“What would be the motive? I thought Zero wanted to make nice with the Mooselimbs.”
This comment allegedly took place between Adlai Stevenson and Dwight Eisenhower. Eisenhower said, “I’m always nice to cabbies. I tip well and when I get out I ask them to vote Republican.” Stevenson said, “I’m always nasty; don’t tip and when I get out I tell them the same.”
In other words, if you’re Obama and you want to screw all future American presidents with Pakistan, you instruct TSA to act just like this. What would future Presidents do; apologize? Nobody can do it with the obsequious anti-Americanism that Obama throws
Not the TSA. Maybe the State Department and the DOD.
From past experience, military "delegations" are tracked very closely by the Defense Attaché Office in the local Embassy and they are met by escorts once they hit the ground in the US (especially true since Dulles is right there). They are escorted from the gate through customs with only the most cursory of passport checks.
That's what I have seen (back when I was on active duty) and experienced on the other end...the couple of times I have been on a "delegation."
