[Scan-DC] Security breach

[John Wilson]

*
   This left idea-log individual made a detailed professional looking 
video in Tampa before he left for the event documenting exactly what he 
planned to do and additionally informed a reporter at the Tampa 
newspaper of his intentions who had to have also viewed the video.  The 
reporter did not report anything to the Secret Service at that time.  I 
watched the video which was posted on the Drudge Report a few days ago 
before he actually did fly.  A few days later he loaded the gyrocopter 
on his trailer and drove 1,000+ miles to a small airport west 
northwest(?) of DC I think in MD.  The Tampa newspaper reporter 
apparently flew up and was with him at the airport before he took off.  
I am not sure but I think at that time when he was airborne on the way 
the Secret Service was notified possibly by the Tampa reporter of his 
intentions and details of his flight plan, etc.**

T**hat may be one of the reasons he was not shot down by the SS.  In my 
opinion another reason might be if he had been shot down by the SS and 
the video he previously had made public then the media would make the 
FBI/Secret Service look like a bunch of incompetents for not immediately 
placing him under 24 hours surveillance when still in Florida.  I 
suspect left wing politics also may have been a factor in the Hobson's 
choice of letting him land first and then arrest him vice the WH SS 
sending a Stinger missile up his rear end when still in flight...just my 
opinion.
