    When they don’t tell you the identity of the person , you know that they are covering for something like our so called cousins.. etc.. just tell us if it is or is not don’t keep us guessing because if it is the usual suspects then we have the right to know. The aloha snackbar gang is not a protected group.

    Can’t even prevent a car ramming in front of the white house.

    I could picture that the next time, the passenger will have a self ejecting flying device that he will simply fly graciously into the White House!
