Am BOS-LAX. Rob Schneider up front with me in 2A. You wouldn't recognize him at all the way he was dressed.

Now that this thread has deviated in about 6 different directions, there is only one thing to say... IBTL.

There's a documentary on Netflix made by National Geographic on the US Secret Service. Anyway, it actually documented preparations of security for a UNGA and from what I recall, the USSS did provide protection for heads of state/government that attend the UNGA.

According to the USSS's webpage (http://www.secretservice.gov/protection.shtml), they protect "visiting heads of foreign states or governments," ie presidents/monarchs/PMs. The State Department's Diplomatic Security (http://www.state.gov/m/ds/protection/c8756.htm) protects, among others, cabinet level foreign dignitaries.

On DCA-ATL this morning, I was on an upgrade which cleared at the window. I was in a window seat next to Mitt Romney. He was quite polite, although he pretty much kept to himself. At the end of the flight he was standing in the jetway by the door to the stairs leading to the tarmac, presumably waiting for a Porsche to take him somewhere.

last year sometime i was flying MCO-LGA and i was #1 for 1 seat on the upgrade list. 2C had been showing empty on the delta app. seconds before boarding mitt romney shows up at the gate, chats with the GA and boards with F. my upgrade does not clear and i board with the Sky zone. as i walk through F, who is sitting in 2C? MITT ROMNEY.

mitt romney stole my seat!

Once I was heading up to DC for work, and was almost through security in ATL. My coworker tapped my shoulder and told me to look back at the the security line. And there was Ciara and Future getting in line. I had no idea how small and petite she was, especially standing next to him.

Wait. Are we saying that Mitt Romney is now a Federal Air Marshal?

Hermain Cain was in the D LGA Sky Club yesterday. You couldn't miss him in his cowboy hat. He was friendly and a gentlemen. It was an honor to talk with him even though it was brief.^
