Just looking at that picture sends me shivers. It just shows how far people really want to hurt the U.S. when foreign functions no longer need to be protected by lightly armed honor guards to full blown men in tactical gear locked and loaded.

The fact that it's a highly charged topic and we're a big time target makes precautions like that necessary. Sad but necessary.

Umm... are you sure thats the right link?
The By-Line is
Report: Kurds call for democracy; B-2 bombers get orders
USS Kitty Hawk battle group in Persian Gulf
No mention of Security measures anywhere..., A picture of a B-2 Leaving a Hanger and some of the world leaders... what are you talking about?

Im seeing what Mr Bean is seeing. A B-2 in a shelter, which by they did you notice they seem to be saying the shelter is radar deflecting.

There are a bunch of permanent airbases in the Middle East with these "stealth" hangers (though they're permanent and rather heavily reinforced as well as camoflauged).
