How do they deal with people who live under the approach path, install cameras in their backyard? <.<

Lock them in their house and dont go near the windows. :biggrin:
Actually maybe not so far fetched. During the recent visit one of Obamas stops was at a fundraiser in an apt on the Upper West Side. I have a close
family member living in the building. Residents were told they couldnt leave their apts during the visit and dont open their windows to look out. An SS agent
was stationed on each floor.

Man that's ridiculous. If some stranger tried to tell me I couldn't look at my own president, through my own damn window, I would've said "with all the taxes I have to pay, I own the rights to look at him. If he doesn't want people looking at him tell him to stay home." Either that or they can pay for my dinner at a nice restaurant during the time in question.

LOL it wasnt a stranger it was the UNITED STATES SECRET SERVICE!! But they were given the heads up days before so they knew the deal.
I know it sounds a little extreme but we are talking about the President and things do get frozen when he is around. And a lot of people just went
out for the day. She didnt. She was just happy she wasnt invited to the fund raiser and would have to make a contribution. :smile:

See, if I was the owner of that apartment complex, and the SS did that...I would wait until the President arrived, then tell him I had changed my mind and didn't want him in my building, and then slam the door in his face. :D
