US Presidential security fails

[nutter]

Must see video of a couple of brave lads who breach security to make a statement on the Air Force One presidential jet. They get right up to it unchallenged right. http://www.stillfree.com/wmv1.html

It's only airforce one when the president is on it.

Does that change the fact they run up to the jet and had time to damage it? If they'd had bombs they could have destroyed it and possibly anyone on it right.

Hard to believe

I am a little skeptical of this vid...I saw it early this morning on another site. Even if these apparently dense tards pulled this off ....

What kind of ass is going to post it all over the internet with a website attached???

How about a big neon sign above your house that says serial killer or rapist.

Sorry aint buying it but hey everyone believes what they want right?

Head in sand mate? What do you think is the worst that can happen, it's like petty vandlism mate. Get some perspective.

[eXcessiveForce]

actually it would be worse than that.

Criminal trespass in a restricted area, Damage to military property,

if it had happened, they could have been shot. If caught they could be looking at prision time for a long time.

My brother was an air traffic controler at andrews, i'll have to ask him about it next time I see him.

Yeah i'm thinking with all the "Home land security" arresting teachers for asking them to not block the elementary bus terminal...hese guys may not get off with "petty vandalism" here in the states at least.

Air Force One Subject of Internet Hoax

By TED BRIDIS, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 12 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - A startling Internet video that shows someone spraying graffiti on
President Bush's jet looked so authentic that the Air Force wasn't immediately certain whether the plane had been targeted.


It was all a hoax. No one actually sprayed the slogan "Still Free" on the cowling of Air Force One.

The pranksters responsible for the grainy, two-minute Web video — employed by a New York fashion company — revealed Friday how they pulled it off: a rented 747 in California painted to look almost exactly like Air Force One.

"I wanted to do something culturally significant, wanted to create a real pop-culture moment," said Marc Ecko of Marc Ecko Enterprises. "It's this completely irreverent, over-the-top thing that could really never happen: this five-dollar can of paint putting a pimple on this Goliath."

The video shows hooded graffiti artists climbing barbed-wire fences and sneaking past guards with dogs to approach the jumbo jet. They spray-paint a slogan associated with free expression.

After the video began circulating on the Web on Tuesday, the Air Force checked to see whether the plane had been vandalized.

"We're looking at it, too," said Lt. Col. Bruce Alexander, a spokesman for the Air Mobility Command's 89th Airlift Wing, which operates Air Force One. "It looks very real."

Alexander later confirmed that no such spray-painting had occurred.

Ecko acknowledged Friday that his company had rented a 747 cargo jet at San Bernardino's airport and covertly painted one side to look like Air Force One. Employees signed secrecy agreements and worked inside a giant hangar until the night the video was made. Ecko declined to say how much the stunt cost.

"It's not cheap," he said. "You have to be rich."

Yeah, I read it was faked too mate. Damn good vid though.

On a serious note, what is the most realistic way to attack Air Force One? Hypotheticaly speaking of course right.

With a high powered sniping rifle like a Barrett 50 cal or something is my guess. Fire incendary rounds into the fuel tank below the wing root and kabooommm!!! Those things have like a 2 mile range so provided you can get into a firing position within direct line of sight to the aircraft whilst it's on the ground, say taxying at a foreign airfield, blat. What do you reckon mate?

This Croation made 20mm sniping rifle would be even better.

Plenty of those went "missing" in the Balkan conflicts.
