US President Barack Obama's trip to India next month
is set to be the biggest ever by any US president in terms of the
protocol and logistics.
Headlines Today accessed the details of elaborate arrangements that
will be in place to guard Obama during his three-day trip beginning
on November 6. He will be accompanied by US first lady Micehlle
Obama and their daughters Malia and Sasha.
Earlier, Obama's daughters Sasha and Malia were not to be part of
the trip. But sources revealed that Michelle's opinion prevailed and
now the girls would accompany the first American couple to India.
The wookie overrules the wuss, again.
The US president will make a historic trip to the Taj Mahal along
with his family on November 7. His visit is historic in terms of
logistics which is the largest ever for a visiting US president.
Elaborate security arrangements
The presidential entourage will have 40 aircraft, including
the Air Force One that will ferry the president. There will be
six armoured cars, including the Barack Mobile, a Cadillac.
The Cadillac limousine is equipped with a mini communication centre
to enable Obama to be in touch with the White House, US vice
president and the US strategic command. It also has the US nuke
launch codes and the nuclear switch for the president. It can also
withstand a chemical or germ warfare or even a bomb attack.
The secret service will set up two command posts in Delhi and
Mumbai which will act as the communication nerve centres. These
centres will keep an eye on each bowel movement by the president
with real time satellite monitoring.
Three Marine One choppers will be reassembled in India to
ferry Obama and his family. These helicopters will also assist in
evacuation in case of an emergency.
Moreover, 30 drug sniffer dogs will be put on service to
boost the security arrangements during Obama's visit.
To the commenter who stated that "Mr.
obuma was spending money like a drunken sailor." -- You owe a
profound apology to all drinking seamen. Not only do they spend
their own money, but when they run out of
money, they quit spending it.
