In the News…

Due to a death threat that apparently worried those in charge of protecting our president, there was some sort of switch where he flew back from Turkey in a catering truck, not the plane everyone thought he was on.  The details are not clear and this article attempts to sort out how and why this was done.

I'm not particularly interested in the how or why of that.  What I am wondering is why we know at all that this was done.  Isn't this the kind of thing you want to keep secret in case you have to do it again?  I'm all for transparency and Freedom of the Press and all but maybe something like this is a reasonable exception.  And what about the folks who actually were on the plane that the alleged would-be assassins thought Trump was on?  Did someone decide it was okay to shoot that plane down…or whatever they were going to do?
