This sounds like an article from WND. All fear and crazy talk with no substantiation.

Wait...your friend runs a rental agency and happens to know that this guy was not checked when he got ON the plane? Mind telling us how he knew?

I afraid Im skeptical. Who was this guy he picked up? How do you know it was not a government dignitary?

They certainly could have used other rental companies or government vehicles in the past and your friend never would have known about it in order to pass that knowledge on to you.
How would his friend know anything at all? Other than he provided a vehicle

I was actually wondering the same thing. Even extending the benefit of the doubt regarding the friends knowledge as far as it can possibly stretch, the story doesn't really add up

Re: What is BO up to now

Exactly. I don't see how a simple car rental guy would know what security checks were taken in another state or country when boarding

I have seen it happen for years, not that I agree with it . Most likely he was a dignitary of some sort . So it is not something new , Feds have different kinds of clearance.........and also can escort whom ever they wish. I am sure the Feds checked him out. Still I understand what you are saying , There are alot of things we as Americans do not know that are happening around us , sometimes right under our noses.

Re: What is BO up to now

Got ya,im sure ther are some details i and my friend dont know, there are some i didnt feel comfortable printing also, that were flags ,my friend had a high security clearance at one time so he picked up on some things too,ps he has already had offers for the gift ,it was pretty unique.still it would be easy for a foreign country to slip someone in other than who it was supposed to be imo. Thanks for for your perspective IC.

Re: What is BO up to now

We really have no idea who this guy was. He could have been an intelligence officier from a Middle East ally of ours or as someone else pointed out a diplomat. The fact that there was US Security there "armed to the gill" tells me that he was somebody important to the United States and was being protected.

My big gripe is that we don't enforce our visa system. We have tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of students from Muslim countries who have come to the USA on student visa's and then have disappeared. There needs to be an accounting of where they are at, etc so if they don't check in weekly or at least monthly they are found and deported.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
