How to hide a president in plain sight: Trump’s catering caper had a Clinton precedent
[]
Times of India
Trump’s secret Turkey exit echoes a 26-year-old Clinton decoy operation in Pakistan.
A Gulfstream C-20 executive jet with US Presidential markings landed first, and a Secret Service agent who resembled Clinton stepped out before the plane taxied away.
Ten minutes later, an unmarked C-20, painted off-white and silver, landed from another direction carrying the real president.
Rather than fly to the village, Clinton stayed in Dhaka and villagers were brought to him.Pakistan was hardly an easier proposition.
Abroad, the US president must be protected from threats that may include missiles, bombs, hostile intelligence services and terrorist groups.
