Recent news suggests that Federal Air Marshalls need to clear customs.

I doubt it is for the President or even his staff. They would all be
carrying diplomatic passports anyway. Now there might be someone on board to
clear all the press folks that are in the back of the plane.

Well, go tell that to the high placed customs official in DC who said
it to me this morning... He volunteered that information on his own -
questioning the President's travels didn't occur to me - while we were
discussing the point that selected members of federal and military
agencies have been through customs school and are customs agent /
border patrol officers along with their other credentials... He
specifically, and adamently in tone, made the point that even"the
President" has to clear customs in and out... I don't have a dog in
this fight...

Bull flipping ****. The President travels on a diplomatic pass port.

I don't so I did my homework by reading the relevant USA federal law as
published, then spent 45 minutes on the phone getting that rather
dense federal law explained to me by the people who sit in corner
offices in DC - and now I'm full of **** but some of you apparently
know more than those who run the joint...

Interesting! Really interesting...

Did your review include diplomatic pass ports? The part you cut said the
President on AF 1 clears immigration and customs which is totally false
since he travels on a diplomatic pass port.

These days law enforcement vehicles are wall to wall flashing lights so
traffic sees them to yield or idiot drivers don't run into them when
they are stopped by the side of the road.

Of course, there's a valid argument to be made that these lights are
distracting and might actually *cause* more accidents than they avoid...

They have these on motorcycles too. They even have a unit
that will flash the brakelight when they are applied
steadily.

It might be nice if they had a variable flash rate that flashes faster
depending upon the amount of brake pressure that is being applied...

Now wait a minute Peter... This scum, err person, is as innocent as a

lie to get out of jury duty pronounce him guilty as hell... At which
point he has rights, and besides it wasn't his fault, his mother
traumatized him during potty training...


His mother's death, years ago, was ruled a suicide, though investigators
were always puzzled by the fact that the suicide note was written in crayon.

If you are riding on AF1 you do not clear customs.

Something tells me that those in the party without diplomatic pass ports
have a very fast path through immigration and customs.

Some years ago I was perusing the California vehicle code about
this stuff. I ride a motorcycle and was looking to see what legal
means I could take to increase my visibility. One of the things I
ran across was about exactly as you described being permitted.
Although, IIRC, for cars, it had to be as a central third brake
light.

I have been considering similar mods to my bike's lighting system.
Actually, what I want to do may not be 100% legal, but when it
comes to me riding a motorcycle in the LA area...obey the law?
or reduce my chances of getting killed? Takes half a brain cell
to decide on the latter.

But yes, a flashing brake light that flashes at a rate proportional
to the amount of braking is at least legal in CA, although I've
never seen one.
