Remember when Obama's plane had the malfunction July 7, 2008?
My source says the Secret Service because of their incompetence caused the malfunction. They are a bunch of know it all that don't know diddly crap.

And the NTSB covered up the cause.

8. By being incompetent in restoring each part of the plane that they inspected to its orginal state.
Apparently their procedure to secure places or things is to do it with everyone out of the area. They didn't have anyone qualified to correct anything SS did to the plane.

9. If your source is right, that's inexcusable
but I have to remain skeptical without details. I understand the SS would do a thorough inspection, but I can't accept that they'd be dismantling anything electronic or mechanical. The SS has many years' experience with this sort of thing.

7. Only if your source doesn't know how to defend themselves from a hockey stick.

10. My Brother in law is a mechanic for American...one of his crew worked on the plane....
Apparently it could have been a serious incident, and those planes are near their swan song.
