The Secret Service will still be accompanying and guarding Trump, so even if the Japanese have a battalion of trans gender midgets for security, it doesn’t matter.

This was never about the FLOTUS.

And after the gentle and astute bit, I’m not convinced it’s a big step forward for Japanese womanhood.

Japan’s all-female police force guarding Melania and Ivanka Trump is not really for security purposes

Sigh.

Gaddafi had some special female bodyguards, although I don't think they did him a lot of good in the end....

“Japan is experimenting with the all-female teams”

They’re “experimenting” with our FLOTUS? I don’t like the sound of that.

The article quotes a US Secret Service official saying it will not really be part of the operational security plan, that their function is more to smooth the way in public functions, with translations, etc. So it’s for “show” but the US Secret Service is not regarding this as a significant part of their security plan.

Being 84 years old, I say "Remember Pearl Harbor".

Keep all those slant-eyed japs away from POTUS & FLOTUS!
