Then he got the assignment of a lifetime. The Air Force's chief of staff asked Evett and about 40 of his colleagues to test the president's security. In other words, try to kill the president without really killing him.

That's not what the story headline leads you to think. What a cheap hook.

MISLEADING TITLE and your excerpt continued the misleading impression.

REALITY: He was asked to TEST THE PRESIDENT'S SECURITY:

"The Air Force's chief of staff asked Evett and about 40 of his colleagues to test the president's security. In other words, try to kill the president without really killing him."

I think it would be a good idea to correct the horribly misleading title, by adding in paranthesis: (Test Security).

Please see the article excerpts others and I posted:

"The Air Force's chief of staff asked Evett and about 40 of his colleagues to test the president's security. In other words, try to kill the president without really killing him."
