Kerry Checked By Security Before Meeting Egypt's President
2014-07-23
Egyptian security officers checked U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his top aides with a metal detector as they arrived for a meeting on Tuesday with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, an unusual screening for a senior State Department official.

Foreign officials usually extend every courtesy to Washington's top diplomat.
Nobody wants him, nobody invited him. And he and his boss are too obtuse focussed on their own objectives to notice.

#22  Look at it from the Egyptian point of view - someone could have stuffed a bomb up his butt without his knowing it.

#20  Steve, I was in Philly when they offered me tomatoes on my cheese steak.

Still have to use Cheez Whiz though. Swiss might be a nice variant.

#19  Wasn't it true while he and Theresa were on the campaign trail they didn't know what a chili-dog was?

#16  We know that he fenced his last medal,
That plastic pretense is his mettle,
But Jawn's such a dum-dum
His headful of plumbum
Led Abdel to test him for metal.

#12  DHS Elibiary:
Hamas wld be wise 2learn from Sada's failure &demand Egypt release MB from dungeosn as part of peace deal. Otherwise can't trust Sisi.

So yeah, US big wigs actively diplomating for Hamas, MB. Rumor of Kerry/US not even being invited to this jig, and furthermore who puts tomato on a cheesesteak? That's not right..in the head.

A donkey and John Kerry walk into a bar, bartender asks, "OK, who brought the ass?"

#10  They used an electron Microscope Frank G?

Personally I think they should do a full-body cavity search. Including his Lucky hat!

#8  I think the security officers still remember the Muslim Brotherhood, and who supported them.

#7  He served in Vietnam you know ... I recall hearing back in 2004 he fiercely took on a cheese steak (complete with lettuce and tomato!?!!), bare handed, didn't even use a fork! Can't let a dangerous guy like that in without guards, ya know.

When you are perceived as an agent for the enemy, checking you for 'anomalies' would be a top priority.

#1  Didn't Kerry's boss exhibit signs of support for the previous administration in Egypt? Isn't Kerry's boss "good at killing people"?

Kerry shoulda been strip-searched!
