It sure seems like the kind of thing they would do. The only doubt in my mind is that we’re talking about an administration that is so utterly incompetent that it’s equally likely that there really has just been a few assassination attempts that have gotten through security. Hanlon’s razor and all that…

    This one didn't even get past security though.

    So you know how there were a few news articles right after 9/11 about cops who forgot their guns in their bags at the airport and whoopsie doodle (the newsworthiness was because everyone was curious about how the law was going to react to that sitiation)? Part of me wonders if some of these are folk just wandering through DC or FL security armed (because in statesia, hoorah guns second amendment something something shall not be Manitoba'd something something) and they just filled out the survey wrong or I don't know. Nothing smells assassinationy about them
