assistant US Attorney General pass through the airport. Three casual observations - First, this is a very expensive way to travel and a poor use of security dollars Second, if he flew with only a one-man security detail he wouldn't be so dramatically visible to all Third, nobody is likely to ever recognize the guy in the first placeso why such a high profile when security through obscurity would work quite EFFICIENTLY in this case and efficiency is the appropriate measure for risk
management.P.S> I also got to watch the airport inspectors drop and damage a passengers
portable while distracted by a more interesting discussion with a peer.Life on the road doesn't seem any safer with Code Orange still in effect.
