Dude that one crashed and burned on arrival. Not funny in the least. This is a wake up call to beef up his security...because if this woman had a gun or knife the world would have seen a Pope murdered.

I'd hate to see that, for sure.

Not a Catholic but I respect the Pope.

Would have been nice if he had clocked her, though! ;-)

...or if she had had a bomb vest on he could have ended up like Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi: "At 10:10 p.m., the assassin Dhanu approached him in a public meeting and greeted the former Prime Minister. She then bent down to touch his feet (an expression of respect among Indians) and detonated a belt laden with 700 grams of RDX explosive tucked under her dress.[16] The former Prime Minister along with many others were killed in the explosion that followed. The assassination was caught on film through the lens of a local photographer, whose camera and film were found at the site. The cameraman himself also died in the blast but the camera remained intact."

Looks like initial reports were wrong. His guards WERE on the ball! She never got close enough to knock him over, but again, a bomb vest would have rendered that a moot point!
