Radar alert sends Bush into White House bunker By Thomas Frank and Alan Levin, USA TODAY

Thu Apr 28, 6:11 AM ET

A blip on a radar screen that was probably caused by a cloud or a flock of birds prompted security agencies Wednesday to evacuate President Bush and Vice President Cheney from the White House.

The alert was triggered at 10:35 a.m. when government radar screens showed a dot - mistaken for an airplane - about 30 miles south of Washington and moving slowly toward the city, said Federal Aviation spokeswoman Laura Brown.

...

Security helicopters on patrol around the capital quickly determined that an airplane hadn't flown into restricted airspace, Homeland Security Department spokesman Brian Roehrkasse said.

...

Cheney was taken Wednesday to a secure location that was not disclosed.

...

Several federal agencies, including the Secret Service and FBI, have been monitoring radar around Washington since 9/11.

...

The Transportation Security Administration is developing a plan to gradually allow private planes to use the airport, TSA chief David Stone told lawmakers last month.

HAHAHA.... stupids... Citizen's premptive strike before Bush drops the Social Security bomb on us tonight...
