Seems to be a lot of "information" about what happened floating through posts here. Below is a hot link to an Associated Press story from
today with comments by Pres. Bush:

Some interesting info in this AP report. Quote from this story: "— he was ordered removed from the flight
despite offering to have the Secret Service confirm his identity." Seems to me like it may - repeat - may have been that nobody was willing to confirm who he was. Very interesting, eh? Why?? Would that have raised the "decision point" to to high of a level?
Here is a second quote from Pres. Bush: "Bush said he had spoken with the agent, who was a member of the president’s security detail. “I told him how proud I was that he was by my side,” Bush said." Doesn't sound to me as if Pres. Bush thinks this Agent was a "bad boy" at BWI. IMHO it seems that Pres. Bush does
NOT believe this Agent is a "security risk" to him (Bush) or anyone else.
For those who believe that a Captain can do
anything they want to without consequences, please read the next to the last paragraph in this story.

AAvid - just a pax
NOT a wanna be Captain. WHy would I want to be a Captain, the pay cut would be too severe!
