No GS guy is going to make that call. Shit rolls down hill, but decisions take appoined and elected people in the room, on Air Force One or Marine One, or the back of the the escalade. I have personally secured Marine One. I have a certificate of appreciation from the white house communication agency downstairs and can scan it for you. We worked with the Marines and Secret Service when Clinton came to SCC 7, the Aiport in Sharm El Sheik Egypt to try and stop the 2nd intifada. I saw Arafat with my own eyes and wondered if one trgger pull wouldn't have been worth the prison time for all the lives saved. The tech then was incredible, so I can only imagine what its like now. Instant communication, world wide.
