With six hours notice, the state department SHOULD have had time to bake him a freaking cake! It only takes ONE hour to fly a real security team from DC to Miami. There's just no reason to risk sending a high profile individual through regular security.
I ask again. If they can't even keep track of our high profile guests, why are we trusting them to keep track of terrorists? The terrorists won't give six hours notice either.
