It used to be a big exciting deal when a President came to your town. Lots of flag waiving, parades, and patriotism.
With today's security problems its no longer fun. Now your city is DISABLED when the President comes to town. Freeways and streets are closed (woe be to you if you are on a freeway when it gets closed, you are seriously stuck until the Secret Service says its OK). I was not surprised at that.
One thing that DID surprise me was GPS gets jammed while he is in town. With the ease of GPS guided weapons, its not surprising. But it sure is a pain in the ass when your trying to get somewhere with your shinny new E4GT Telenav system. I kept messing with it while I was driving. Good thing I didn't have a wreck.
I could not understand why I could not get GPS to lock. After confirming my suspicions, now I know not to depend on GPS when a president is around.
The challenges of modern living!
