What iteration of the schedule was that in the trash? Usually, a presidential visit undergoes dozens of changes--starting months before the visit--before the final is published. Is there any indication that the schedule found in the trash was the final?

Notional schedules are, indeed, supposed to be destroyed properly--not tossed in the trash. And someone should be reamed for the breach of security.

But that's not at all the same as a real threat.

Passenger manifests are fluid until the planes take off. Seating in motorcades is final when the car doors close. A visit is final when the President walks in the room. All are subject to change right up the the actual event.

I've been holding the fort at sites scheduled to be visited, but ended up holding something else when the schedule changed at the last minute. I've also had my seat in motorpools bumped or upgraded. And gotten very-last-minute calls to quickly get someplace to cover an "off-schedule" event.

With the information provided in the news item, I'm certainly not going to get worried...

Just following W's lead.
