    Anyone care to comment?
    I heard that Pres Obama called a meeting with those responsible, and some heads rolled. He supposedly knew nothing about it either. I wonder what would have happened if someone in the NY area that witnessed it, had a heart attack out of fear of a repeat of 9/11????? The whole thing wasn't very well thought out beforehand - obviously!!!!

    I think it scared many people, those who witnessed it must have thought it's happening again...

    That's probably a good idea.

    I heard on the radio this morning that they were updating pictures of Air Force One. Is that not true? Regardless, that's a dumb reason. Like the lady on the radio said - use Photoshop!!! And why do they need an updated picture, has it really changed?
    Maybe their info was not accurate. But regardless it was a dumb thing to do!!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Home Land Security wanted a photo op of Air Force One and a fighter escort over Manhattan. I find it hard to believe that HLS could do this without the POTUS knowledge.
    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!

    Nope it was not smart on the Pentigon's move to have done this with no-one's knowledge.. Did you see all of those people was scared out of their minds.. I would have been too.. I am kinda like Blue said = I find it hard that no-one knew of this..

    Very stoopid and insensitive move on someone's part.
    Just goes to show how out of touch some people are.

    I read that The President is furious. Rightly so. "Somebody" needs some sensitivity training.

    Actually, I think it is just an example of another inexperienced person making decisions in our government.
