Security Breakdowns at Republican Convention
sorry if this somehow upsets some of you, but i had a hearty Laugh.

Over the four-day convention period, NewsMax has learned that there were repeated and serious breakdowns in security.

Some were reported, others were not.....

NewsMax has learned that on at least six occasions during the convention, one attendee was able to smuggle potentially dangerous items through the security checkpoints, all the way to the foot of the podium on the convention floor.

The same podium used by President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

In one instance the vice president was making his acceptance speech.

In another, Cailfornia Gov. Arnold Schwartzengger was wowing the crowd....

One item was a hand-held laser pointer, a device commonly used in group presentations, which clearly has a sticker prominently displayed that warns blindness could occur if pointed at a person's eyes.

when they can't even keep their own convention safe.
