Not a Good Idea



Yesterday, Obama's security detail stopped screening people for weapons an hour before a rally in Dallas. They took down metal detectors, and stopped checking purses and laptop bags:

Dallas Deputy Police Chief T.W. Lawrence, head of the Police Department's homeland security and special operations divisions, said the order -- apparently made by the U.S. Secret Service -- was meant to speed up the long lines outside and fill the arena's vacant seats before Obama came on.

"Sure," said Lawrence, when asked if he was concerned by the great number of people who had gotten into the building without being checked. But, he added, the turnout of more than 17,000 people seemed to be a "friendly crowd."


Worst. Halfass. Excuse. Ever.

Get it together, guys.
