President Bush Visit
Today Bush was in my hometown. It was reported a few days prior to his visit that he would be speaking at the local airport. I knew right off the bat that there is a kinda secret vantage point that over looks the airport in a wooded secluded area that few people know about and fewer know how to get to it. I thought it would be very interesting to go up there and see what police or secret service presence was there. In my opinion it would be a prime sniper location and thus it would surely be guarded by the SS or local police. When I arrived there sure enough a local cop car was there. However, there was no cop, just a car with a sign that read "Emergency, Road Closed". Well I didnt see a cop so I just walked on through. I walked through the woods until sure enough, I was directly over the airport with a perfect view down to his helicopter convoy, there were 4 of them. I used my rangefinder to get an exact distance and it was 1259 yeards. I had my binoculars so I scoped the entire area below for sniper teams. I spotted only two. I was AMAZED. I am sure there were more that I couldnt see.
I decided to walk around the general area and see if there were hidden teams or scouts in the woods or brush. I scoured the area and finally I found the cop whose car was parked at the entrance. He was alone, with a dog, a long rifle and binoculars. 20 minutes later the President took off from the airport below and left.
I am pretty sure if someone was so inclined they could have taken a good shot with reasonable chance of hitting their target. To be honest I was dissapointed that the security wasnt better. I have been VERY surprised that Al-Qeada hasnt at least tried to mount some attack. I would hope Amerca starts to guard the president better.

Smells like BS to me .....BUT
If true, he'd better be glad there was no one there -- if the Secret Service or any other law enforcement had caught him with that rangefinder he would be in jail for a while.
No he'd be dead.
they tend to shoot first ask questions later, when guarding the potus.0 -
