US Customs search Irish govt jet?!!
« on: August 15, 2010, 08:10:41 pm »
Unreal! They search our state aircraft and yet their military aircraft regularly pass through Shannon unchecked?!
Imagine if we insisted on checking Air Force One the next time it's in Ireland!?!

Does diplomatic immunity not even apply to our heads of state anymore?
As much as I have no time for Bertie, Cowen and Co, I find the thought of US Customs searching our state aircraft as insulting to the both the country and it's people.
