I have been watching this news group for sometime and finally need to
respond to this. Since when does the Idaho police from Hailey get
involved with security in Jackson, Wy.? Hello! This is about half of
the security and support staff, planes, etc. that accompany the
President. You should have witnessed the Clintons vist to Jackson.

For this last stop before going to his vacation home in Jackson, Wyo.,
Cheney required:

a.. The Air Force's largest transport, the four-jet C-17 Globemaster, to
cart two armored Cadillac limousines and three Secret Service SUVs.


b.. Two military Blackhawk helicopters for over-flight security and
surveillance.


c.. Two Air Force-operated twin-jet luxury Gulfstream jets.


d.. An estimated two dozen Secret Service agents, plus vice presidential
aides.


e.. Added security from the Idaho State Police, Blaine County Sheriff's
Office, and Bellevue, Hailey and Ketchum police departments stationed along
state Highway 75.
Counting a fund-raising stop in Salt Lake City that raised $300,000 and the
Bellevue reception that harvested another $175,000, the irony is that
government costs of this outing undoubtedly far exceeded contributions
