I wonder if he would get shot if he got caught running toward the plane over the fance.

I think they have the authority that nuclear power plants do...shoot first and ask questions if you want to (or get caught). Not sure how I feel about him doing that, but yeah, shows how lax things are...I don't even want to think about Border Security!

It's fake people.. heard about this on the radio.

Quote:

WASHINGTON (AP) _ The grainy, two-minute Web video -- showing hooded graffiti artists who climb barbed-wire fences and sneak past guards with dogs to spray graffiti on President Bush's jet -- was so convincing the Air Force wasn't immediately certain whether the president's plane had been targeted.
''We're looking at it, too,'' Lt. Col. Bruce Alexander, a spokesman for the Air Mobility Command's 89th Airlift Wing, told The Associated Press just hours after the video began circulating on the Web.
Did they or didn't they?
In fact, Bush's plane was safe. On Friday, the pranksters behind the video revealed the biggest ingredient for their hoax: a rented 747 in California painted to look almost exactly like Air Force One.
The video, available at stillfree.com, was elaborately produced for New York-based Marc Ecko Enterprises, a fashion and lifestyles company whose products are aimed at urban youths.

Can read more about it here. There's probably other sites out there that talked about it, but since its almost 3am here and I'm not going to do alot of digging.. time for some Zzzz... Besides, it would be a lot more difficult then just strutting up to the plane and tagging it like they did. Don't believe everything you see..

I'm glad it's fake, I was so mad when I saw the video. All I was thinking while watching was "Those disrespectful little shits".

it's fake, when bush visited the uk they had snipers on watch as well as normal troops. nothing gets past a group of snipers, they are too skilled in their field of work

ah, I shouldn't be so gullible... Yeah doesn't really seem possible

Fakes are easy to spot, they never show what is surrounding the given object, of course they're also out of focus and unsteady. Additionally, there was no blue stripe on the vertical stabilizer (the fin in the back), there was also no tail number, the whole back-end of the bird was wrong.

If you want to know what I mean goto an air show some time that's hosting a B2 Bomber, you'll see the lines and the men with M16s.

I'd like to share a little known fact. That plane isn't Air Force One, there is no Air Force One plane, it's just a call-sign, any US Air Force craft the president gets on is called Air Force One. There's Army One, Marine One, Navy One, Coast Guard One, and Executive One. See the pattern? Executive One is for any civilian craft that the president is on. On a side note, when the Vice President rides the call-sign is Branch Two, as in Air Force Two or Marine Two.
