Considering many in the MSM continued to point out that no one was being denied the right to carry in bags and packages of all kinds with no searches at all.

Oh my. Well, if there is something hostile going on here, the whole world will certainly take up some action against terrorism. This would be a very, very stupid act on the part of the terrorists.

Well, he would also have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to know that he shouldn't be in that air space without a proper flight plan.

I wonder when this happened?

Seems to me that their #1 target is already long gone from there.

Do we know what time the president's plane is to depart Italy? I will be relieved when he, the first lady, and their group return home. Clinton can stay there though.

Hoping for a story, never mind the cost.

Evil in our midst and let no one forget it either.
