I was impressed when I found this one. A guy named Mark Ecko penetrates
Airforce 1 security, makes it to the President's plane and spray-paints
it with Graffiti, wow, and was not busted. He could have easily
attached anything he wanted to. In this case it was only black
Spray-paint. You got to see this:

Uh, if the guy wasn't busted how did they know his name?

Uhh... because he put it in his website, where the link takes you?

But it's fake, anyway. It's a nicely done fake. But he admits it's
fake.

OTOH, this is a guy that should be hung. He promoted "tagging" as
"art".

Hmmm, musta missed that part. It was an impressive fake - just enough
doubt to make me think "How the hell did he get away with that"
(scratching head) ... Naaaah, he couldn't have...

Another urban yute gone bad

Agreed... In Texas, it is classified as "criminal mischief" and if done at
night, deadly force is authorized... Of course, I would only aim at their
spray can -- with a 12-gauge...

I'm sure you don't have much trouble with repeat offenders.

Nobody gets close to Airforce 1.

Getting shot with a 12-gauge wouldn't necessarily kill the person, although
it might induce a heartattack. At least that's how it worked out for the
VP..

Wow, that was funny.

If the VP actually, you know, used a 12 gauge it would be funnier.
When hunting quail he uses a 28, for ducks he uses a 16.

Air Force One Subject of Internet Hoax

By TED BRIDIS, Associated Press Writer1 hour, 30 minutes ago

A startling Internet video that shows someone spraying graffiti on
President Bush's jet looked so authentic that the Air Force wasn't
immediately certain whether the plane had been targeted.

It was all a hoax. No one actually sprayed the slogan "Still Free" on
the cowling of Air Force One.

The pranksters responsible for the grainy, two-minute Web video --
employed by a New York fashion company -- revealed Friday how they
pulled it off: a rented 747 in California painted to look almost
exactly like Air Force One.

"I wanted to do something culturally significant, wanted to create a
real pop-culture moment," said Marc Ecko of Marc Ecko
Enterprises. "It's this completely irreverent, over-the-top thing that
could really never happen: this five-dollar can of paint putting a
pimple on this Goliath."

The video shows hooded graffiti artists climbing barbed-wire fences
and sneaking past guards with dogs to approach the jumbo jet. They
spray-paint a slogan associated with free expression.

After the video began circulating on the Web on Tuesday, the Air Force
checked to see whether the plane had been vandalized.

"We're looking at it, too," said Lt. Col. Bruce Alexander, a spokesman
for the Air Mobility Command's 89th Airlift Wing, which operates Air
Force One. "It looks very real."

Alexander later confirmed that no such spray-painting had occurred.

Ecko acknowledged Friday that his company had rented a 747 cargo jet
at San Bernardino's airport and covertly painted one side to look like
Air Force One. Employees signed secrecy agreements and worked inside a
giant hangar until the night the video was made. Ecko declined to say
how much the stunt cost.

"It's not cheap," he said. "You have to be rich."

What size shell does he use when hunting Campaign Contributors?

We shouldn't make too much fun of him. After all, the guy he shot is a
lawyer...
