The president stopped by my sister's airport today. He was on his way from Portland to Framingham and because of the rain and flooding in New England the places where he could transfer from his helicopter to his limo were limited.
Since it was no big deal to close the airport (Marlborough Airport isn't exactly O'Hare) and since Marlborough is close to Framingham, Sandy's little airfield was chosen. Dogs sniffing the hangars and the aircraft, snipers on the roof, vehicles from the Massachusetts transportation department, Boston Police, Cambridge Police, Framingham Police, Marlborough Police, and the state police - well, it was quite the scene, as you can see in the video attached to this Metrowest news report.
Sandy is now on a first name basis with several Secret Service agents.
