A few years ago, I became a little observant of the people that I see on television. Whenever somebody is interviewed, I try to scrutinize the surrounding and identify the location and specific objects. Yesterday, I was looking at photos and video clips of politicians boarding and disembarking from planes and I have noticed that none of them are pulling luggage sets. Do they have assistants to take care of those things even when they go overseas?
A columnist for a Philippine newspaper talks about the costs and massive preparations required by the US Secret Service whenever President Bush and other (US Presidents) travel outside of Washington DC. I remember watching a CNN report that showed how big a US presidential convoy is, compared to the two vehicle transport being used by Prime Minister Tony Blair of the UK.
