It was too strong; a joker's just that: a trickster, an imp, up to malfeasance and mischief for fun. These people are too dull to be anything more than crooks.
What will it take for our military & former military to turn on Trump? After he gets people killed by all his unsecured communications? Yucking it up with Putin? Or his incompetent cabinet? Where is the line for the GOP? It’s truly unbelievable none of them have a red line so far.
Yeah I think you'd have to completely disassemble every part down to the nuts, bolts and rivets to really know. That would be so expensive you might as well buy a new plane from Boeing.
They plan to strip it down to secure it, fit it with missile defense, etc. Then, put all the over the top opulence back in. All on our dime while we attempt to scrape by with nothing.
That aircraft was built and assembled at Paine Field-Everett, Washington. All those luxury enhancements were installed after that Boeing jet was delivered to Qatar. From 1960-1973 (grade school, junior high school, and high school) I lived near Seattle’s Boeing Field/ King County Airport!
Trump sells information to our enemies, so allowing free classified information through a bugged jet is not in his interest. He has financial reasons to get it secured.
Is that a standard that exists anymore? Our cybersecurity CIA and FBI are decimated so the criminals and foreign actors can have free rein. Surely part of the deal is the Qataris get to see reality WH TV 24/7?
I dunno. You should look into that if it's of specific interest to you.
In the meantime, having a pointless argument about security is very funny while the US democracy is nicked and corruption becomes so big it can be lost in the noise about all the other scandals.
🤷♂️😜👍
A lot of the details are classified/not public. I assume at the very least they have a radar warning receiver, an ECM suite, chaff and flare, and potentially some kind of IRCM
except the president decides what “secure enough” means. that’s why he’s granted all kinds of security clearances over the objections of agency recommendations, if a background check is allowed at all.
Signal chats, secret documents returned to Mar-a-lago, unvetted hackers in control of our critical systems, Hegseth as Defense Secretary with an unsecured internet connection in his office SCIF, Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence, Starlink, didn’t you get the memo on this?
"Air Force One has multi-frequency radios for air-to-air, air-to-ground, and satellite communications as well as 87 telephones with three networks ranging from Top Secret down to Non-Secure. ..
Which is why fat boys thinks he has the fix in. Ya see, the plane arrives and o my gosh! We can't modify this plane. What do we do? It's a gift, we can't give it back. We may as well let fat boy keep it for himself. SURE AFTER I STRIP IT DOWN TO ITS FRAME, CUT IT INTO SECTIONS AND SHIP IT . HE PAYS.
Beyond absurd.A donated 747 from Qatar for Air Force One?The current and future Air Force One is a specially designed 747,able to be refueled in air,and stay aloft for days.It is an airborne command post,EMP hardened,able to communicate to all 50 state capitals,and military assets worldwide
Sure there is. Remove most of the screws, drain the hydraulics for the flaps, cut the brake lines, and disable the instruments. That should do it. Now it is ready for Trump.
Correct!!
It takes years to put in place the various safeguards for secure electronic communications, EMP blasts, anti-missile evasion systems, and supposedly a survival pod.
This is a post-term personal plane. In other words, a $400m gift.
There's no way to make ANY plane that secure except from the ground up. AFO was purpose built and there's only two of them (that they publicly acknowledge).

But I see your point. 🫤
I think Trump's perspective is secrecy and privacy don't matter. He just lets it all hang out there, then gets played the fool
🤷🏾🤪🤦🏾
I say, we let him have it. 👍

All the best with whatever your point or argument is.
But yes, point still stands that it's probably chock full of surveillance equipment & other spy goodies.
Relationships with Qatar are extremely transactional. They are definitely not handing this over out of goodwill
zoomzoomweeeeeeeee ✈️
Oh, and then there are the bugs.
And the possibility of things that go💥are tucked away
May it be hard to repair.
May they fly it everywhere.
May it go off the radar.
May it soon fall into the sea.
Yup ..

I am so glad to hear someone else has thought about this.
But your point stands. No way to make them secure...

On the other hand … 😵💫
