Oops...somebody travelling with the Prez' might be in trouble.
A booklet detailing Barack Obama's security arrangements during his Australian visit this week has been found lying in a gutter in the Aussie capital, Canberra.
---
The Sydney Morning Herald, whose reporter happened upon the booklet — titled "Overall Program and Orders of Arrangements: Program for the State Visit to Australia by President of the United States Barack Obama" — considers it "a significant and hugely embarrassing security slip-up."
---
The booklet describes Obama's Australian schedule "down to the minute, as well as the breakdown of his security convoy, and the mobile numbers of dozens of senior US and Australian officials," the SMH reported.

The cover of the 125-page booklet even reads: "is not to be communicated either directly or indirectly to any person not authorized to receive it."

The booklet names a long-standing member of the secret service and details seating arrangements for the presidential motorcade, even even describing from which limousine door the President will enter and exit.

2. DUH
"Hmm, I got this here top secret booklet, well hell, I'll be careless and either throw it in the gutter or lose it and not notice."

This stuff is more common than people think too, top secret stuff going missing due to incompetence.
