One hundred percent of attendees through a metal detector, then a wand, plus empty pockets and check all bags and purses.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226872147414315371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877966.post-57227726969813160222008-02-25T16:14:00.000-08:002008-02-25T16:14:00.000-08:00I checked with a friend who worked the door at the...I checked with a friend who worked the door at the Clinton event here. They didn't do any screening. <BR/> Granted, Obama is a special case. However, an ex-president would seem to merit a high level of protection. Also, Clinton is not beloved here in east Texas.<BR/> Personally, I would want the crowd checked if I were either guy. I'm amazed that both aren't getting better protection.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06674487559605740272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877966.post-19356847761329016522008-02-24T17:07:00.000-08:002008-02-24T17:07:00.000-08:00I asked Donovan if they take the same precautions ...I asked Donovan if they take the same precautions with Obama as they do with Clinton and McCain, and he said "yes."<BR/><BR/>My point is, when they've got a candidate like Obama, they should be more thorough.Darrin Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165587947994202497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877966.post-10935901818206474752008-02-24T16:03:00.000-08:002008-02-24T16:03:00.000-08:00Does anyone know if the security for other candida...Does anyone know if the security for other candidates is similar? My impression is that they didn't use metal detectors for Bill Clinton when he came here.

Maybe it's tough to check so many people, but come on, we're talking about the first black President. They've got to step up their game! Stop leaving so much to chance. Stephanie Miller said on her show this morning that she doesn't want to test how racist this country might still be, and I agree.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6877966.post-19516633503637957562008-02-22T11:38:00.000-08:002008-02-22T11:38:00.000-08:00How come the Secret Service will talk to a cartoon...How come the Secret Service will talk to a cartoonist and not to UPI or the Star-Telegram (who say they couldn't get a comment)?<BR/><BR/>No wonder I read Candorville!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
