Sloppy

Terrorists have a bit of a history with airplanes in the US don't they and President Bush, well he's none to popular with terrorists right now; there must be dozens looking for a way of getting at him. So if I were Bush, one thing that would make me feel really, really safe is the fact that my personal plane, Air Force One is the best protected plane in the whole of the USA. Especially when it's parked up at Andrews Air Force Base. Guarded by the cream of the US Air Force. You certainly wouldn't expect that a joker with a can of spray paint could easily jump over the fence and tag it. That would be impossible.

Wouldn't it?

Astonishing. Has anyone involved in security within the USA learned anything from 9/11?

Update

Dammit.

Air Force One Subject of Internet Hoax

WASHINGTON - A startling Internet video that shows someone spraying graffiti on President Bush's jet looked so authentic that the Air Force wasn't immediately certain whether the plane had been targeted.

It was all a hoax. No one actually sprayed the slogan "Still Free" on the cowling of Air Force One.

The pranksters responsible for the grainy, two-minute Web video — employed by a New York fashion company — revealed Friday how they pulled it off: a rented 747 in California painted to look almost exactly like Air Force One.

"I wanted to do something culturally significant, wanted to create a real pop-culture moment," said Marc Ecko of Marc Ecko Enterprises. "It's this completely irreverent, over-the-top thing that could really never happen: this five-dollar can of paint putting a pimple on this Goliath."
