Forget everything that happened before Christmas Day. When he showed up with a ticket paid for with cash, no checked luggage and having to have someone talk him aboard the flight because he didn’t have his passport they knew all they needed to know in order to give him a very thorough search.
I would be careful with that one. It is a key element of this story but it is in dispute. Most news stories are now reporting that he did have a passport. I don't know the truth but this aspect of the episode will be difficult to hide even for Obama. Personally I'm waiting for something more definitive on the passport story than we have received so far. Something smells for sure when you get this many versions of what actually happened but I'm trying to keep an open mind. Time will tell. Hopefully.
