[Not Surprised]

TSA=Thousands Standing Around while Taking Scissors Away and failing terrorists tests constantly. I felt safer with the security people that were not so-called "trained" (like circus animals)by the government.

Sounds to me just like another "holier than thou" government official that thinks he's above having to go through security screening like everyone else. I have no sympathy for this guy. If anything, he should set an example for us "common folk" and be proud that TSA and the airline were doing their job properly! NO ONE should be exempt!

[In-Fight]

Mmmmm

[FlyingSolo]

This is another example of someone who thinks they are above the LAW ,and isnt ashamed to take tax payers money to benefit himself like ARROYO, because its the TAX PAYERS who flipped for that bill for charting that jet,I foresee trouble for this IDIOT as will in his future to think he doesnt have to be patted down,Could it be he had some of the PHILIPPINO MONEY IN HIS JACKET and didnt want to get caught...perhaps it was him who called in the threat , i mean common the airforce got a tip ...how often does that happen ...then he calls his mistress ARROYO crying he is left at the airport ,and that BiTc. sends a jet ,wut she paid for it outta her own pocket i dont think so hmmmmmmmmm... things that make you say hmmmmmm , oust his A$$ to ,teach him a lesson , he needs to learn he is a commomner like everyone else thats how he flew in thats how he needs to fly out

All high officials especially the head of state or Country should be treated with respect and courtesy.

Frisking or screening a president may apply only if necessary.In this case,our President which continental i believe are well aware that he was going to be boarding their plane should have act in a profesional way in handling this issue.

The government who host this airline,the TSA,the Airline,and Palau Government should have already made or sing some sort of agreement or waiver to avoid such shameful thing to happpen.

sicne i do not know exactly whats happen. It would be easy for me to say that this was just some sort of a miss understaing between both parties.

"The government who host this airline,the TSA,the Airline,and Palau Government should have already made or sign some sort of agreement or waiver to avoid such shameful thing to happpen". Continental and state department will do anything, I say anything, directlydi or in-directly to promote their interest in Palau from President of Palau down to Continetal people. That is bottom line. And I say it again, continental is promoting and maintaining its status in Micronesia and the region by any means necssary! But I am very, very proud for the way this President handled the sitstuation. Americans should elect him to be their President.
Thanks
