Funny thing, but this isn't news or startling to me.
Many years ago - in 1976 - I won a scholarship. The keynote speaker
at the ceremony was Gerald Ford. This was a couple of months after
Squeaky tried to pop him, and since the organization in question
was a bunch of females, security was "tight" (okay, it was the
70's) and everyone was being screened.
But I was late and didn't know where to go and one of the
organizers hustled me through -- told the nice SS guys that my
parents and I didn't need to be screened. So, no argument, no
screening, no purse check... straight up to the stage where I sat
six feet behind Mr. Ford.
I guess, at the end of the say, the strategy is to form a human
shield.
But I do like the imagine of the bomb with the fuse hanging out --
that gave me a nice chuckle this morning.
