Perhaps the most elaborate security measures ever planned are being implemented during President Obama’s visit to India. Nothing has been left to chance. Threats from sea, land, air, food and coconut are all being considered.
So far, however, it seems the greatest worry isn’t from outside threats, but from local security.
From the Daily Mail:
A policeman guarding Mr Obama’s Mumbai hotel set off a major security alert after accidentally shooting himself in the leg last night.
The gunshot sparked chaos as Secret Service agents rushed to protect the U.S. president.
An alert was sounded as Mr Obama, his wife and daughters were preparing for a private dinner inside the hotel.
The injured officer, Suhas Chowdhury, 49 – a 20-year veteran of the Mumbai police – had been guarding the perimeter of the hotel when his gun went off at the end of his shift.
Officer Chowdhury was then ordered to carry only a single bullet in his shirt pocket, and put back on duty.
Who knew that the Mumbai police had their own version of






An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
