IBTZ means that the poster has managed to insert a comment into the thread before a moderator locks it, and bans you. Essentially, they think you're a troll.

However, if you remain, debate civilly, and actually discuss rather than parrot conspiracy cliches - then you'll find yourself made welcome even if disagreed with.

He is not necessarily a troll. The question is in fact a reasonable one that I haven't heard asked before, and it does bear answering.

I would add that the Secret Service always considers the President to be "under attack". And if you think about it, he essentially IS always under attack. The only thing that varies is his relative proximity to those who wish to carry it out, and their relative capability to do so.

Any President is often said to only be somewhat safe while at Camp David. Even then, the Russians can incinerate him in about an hour.
