The Press is Shoe-ing Gum, Secret Service says
WHITE HOUSE, Dec 16 -- Under pressure to revamp security arrangements at press meets with the president, the Secret Service has cobbled together a plan that it hopes doesn't come unstuck.
A double coat of Elmer's glue will be applied to the insides of all mediapersons' shoes before they are allowed to walk into the press conference. A Secret Service agent was quoted as saying that they would "rest easy" while "America's favorite glue is doing its job inside (their) shoes."
Anyone resisting the application of the resin to their shoes will need to check the potential projectiles at the gate, and walk in barefeet.
This action comes in the wake of the president deftly dodging two of a pair hurled at him at high speed by a reporter at a press meet in Baghdad on Monday.
"Huh...Dad prepared me well for this," said president Bush making light of the incident immediately after.
The plan is currently being tested by the Secret Service at an unknown foreign location.
