EXCLUSIVE: Presidential Plans Found In Trash

How much do you think Osama bin Laden would pay to know exactly when and where the President was traveling, and who was with him? Turns out, he wouldn't have had to pay a dime. All he had to do was go through the trash early Tuesday morning.

It appears to be a White House staff schedule for the President's trip to Florida Tuesday. And a sanitation worker was alarmed to find in the trash long hours before Mr. Bush left for his trip.

It's the kind of thing you would expect would be shredded or burned, not thrown in the garbage.
Randy Hopkins could not believe what he was seeing.

There on the floor next to a big trash truck was a thick sheaf of papers with nearly every detail of the President's voyage.

8. Maybe Bush tossed HIS copy away; don't blame his incompetent staff!

(Sarcasm). Really, maybe Bush threw his copy away, or left it laying around his hotel room, on under the toilet, or someplace. Then some overworked underpaid cleaning person who may not have even been able to read English tossed it in the trash.

Unless of course, Bob Boudelang's disappearance is explained by the fact that the GOP finally rewarded his loyalty with a job and he's traveling with Bush now and Bob threw it away.

6. ----back up choppers, Nighthawk 2 and Three.---

...The documents details the exact arrival and departure time for Air Force One, Marine One and the back up choppers, Nighthawk 2 and Three.

It lists every passenger on board each aircraft, from the President to military attaché with nuclear football. It offers the order of vehicles in the President's motorcade.

We faxed a copy to the Secret Service, which as usual rule declined to say much, other than insisting that it was a White House staff document, not a Secret Service document.

And while it is marked official the Secret Service says it is NOT classified. But you don't have to be in Presidential security to figure out the big mistake here.

What do you think the message is that comes out of this? Shred the important papers.

2. A trash collector found Bush's travel details in the garbage.

It looked official. It had the routes and everything. The secret service said it wasn't theirs and that it must've come from someone at the White House. I believe them because everyone inside the White House is incompetent. It doesn't surprise me at all.

7. Barney's revenge?

3. Remember when Bush made the Queen of England

rip out her prize rose bushes because of the high security he demanded for his visit?

I'd be pissed right now if I was the old Queenie.
