Romney or one of his surrogates should be making this exact point. They could then, if desired, link this nonsense to the absurd security theater being performed by the TSA. When you think about it, it’s almost like they’re testing us to see how ridiculous they can get with their “security” measures, like a dry run for a truly totalitarian state.
I’ll try to reserve judgement for now, because I don’t know if the secret service always does this or not.
Maybe I should read the links before commenting.
Nah.
Didn’t the military in Afghanistan have to surrender their side-arms when Obama and/or Panetta came to speak to them?
This is only common sense. By removing all forks no one will be able to say he is done.
Panneta, yes.
Cranky, I’m sure there is usually a count done when the silverware is discretely gathered after the meal, but this seems a little over the top.
I don’t know, either people were packing off the silver for a souvenir, or the king is nervous, and about to hire a food taster.
I see a future for $30,000 a (paper) plate dinners featuring plastic sporks. While the king arrives in his armored limousine sporting solid gold crab crackers and leaded crystal goblets imported from Italy.
I thought so. I’d never heard of such a thing.
Military Rolls Tanks Onto St. Louis Streets…But Why?
Obama has a food taster. So did Bush. Although I doubt either one of them eats at these rubber chicken dinners. They do/did take them abroad so there is no funny business.
Funny comment from nr’s link:
A chicken in every pot.
An M1-Abrams on every block.

That looks like a textbook thread winner to me.
Were they relieved of their shoes as well?
Don’t be silly, this isn’t Iraq!
geoffb, I liked the fork joke.
Can’t believe that that no one has yet said, “Fork you, Obama.”
Heh. I figured they wanted all the cutlery to keep people from slitting their wrists if he gave another 54 minute speech.
Excellent point!
My theory (given Obama tripped going into that meeting) was they were worried he might fall on some cutlery (sort of like George’s dad falling of fusilli Jerry in Seinfeld).
I just figured they adopted this policy because sometimes Biden is at these things and you know what could happen if he got hold of a fork…
McGehee, you forgot the video…
