[Reached for comment late this afternoon a spokesperson for the Secret Service had the following response: "The Secret Service categorically denies the allegation that security for President Obama was less strict than airport security. In fact the security was directly comparable to, and in fact modeled on, the security at Love Field on November 22, 1963. However, the Secret Service is not at liberty to divulge details on matters of national security.]
[Asked to clarify the spokesperson had this to say: "Specifically the Secret Service has constructed a two layer system wherein:
1-Security is stripped for living presidents whom they dislike, then
2-The body is zealously and violently guarded to insure that no ill befalls it.
The public should rest assured that this approach has been utilized since 1963, and is a great success in the view of decision makers at the departments of Treasury, Defense, State, Oil and Banking."]

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
