And the confidential, top secret leaks continue...
Here's yet another high-security, high-risk leak:
Web site exposes Air Force One defenses
Source: San Francisco Chronicle / San Francisco Gate
Date Written: 2006-04-08
Andrews Air Force Base has inadvertently posted security details and procedures for Air Force One to its website, complete with a map of the interior, locations of Secret Service agents' positions throughout the plane, and a target that could detonate on-board oxygen tanks if shot with a high calibre rifle. The documents also contained details about Air Force One's missile defense systems. The disclosure raises questions about the Air Force's operational security and could prompt the Secret Service to cancel future presidential travel. The Secret Service has refused to comment on the documents or their release.
Added: 4-15-06: Apparently, I, like lots of other people, overreacted to this story. Here's a good recap of the "non-issue"http://www.defensetech.org/archives/002315.html
