bonnie Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 A good thing that she didn't have to change plans for the hearings on Benghazi. To bad just a little of this security and concern was offered to Ambassador Stevens and the others US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Poised to Visit Friends in Adelaide Next Week Hillary Clinton is planning to visit Adelaide next week. ONE of the Adelaide's largest joint security operations will protect US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her planned visit next week. Sections of the CBD, including North Tce and King William St, are likely to be locked down for the visit, which was revealed on adelaidenow yesterday. Planning for the massive operation to protect the second most powerful woman in the world has been under way for the past week. US embassy officials and security specialists have been working with Australian Federal Police, senior SA Police and STAR Group officers to plan the operation. The visit is expected to be confirmed by White House officials as early as today. Sources said the initial planning indicated the operation would be similar to when US Defence Minister Donald Rumsfeld and other defence officials were in Adelaide for the Australia-US Ministerial Meeting (AUSMIN) in 2005. Digital Pass - $5 weekend papers In that operation, sections of North Tce and King William St were locked down to protect delegates. Few details of Ms Clinton's visit on Wednesday and Thursday have been revealed, but it is understood she will visit close friends, one whom is connected to the Carnegie Mellon University. It also believed that: THE 150-strong entourage is likely to visit Penfolds' Magill Estate for either a wine tasting session or private function. THE entourage has booked more than 100 rooms over several floors at the Intercontinental Hotel on North Tce. HEAVY traffic restrictions are likely from late Wednesday ahead of her anticipated arrival that night. HER entourage will leave Adelaide on Friday morning. While Ms Clinton will be protected at close quarters by her own US Secret Service detail, dozens of AFP protection officers and STAR Group officers will be involved in protecting her motorcade and any venues she visits. Police are also likely to use helicopter surveillance to monitor her every move. The operation will be larger than that mounted to protect Prince Charles and his wife Camilla for their five-hour flying visit to Adelaide on Wednesday. Many of the SA police officers involved in that security operation will be involved in next week's, having regarded Wednesday's royal visit as a rehearsal for the Clinton visit. The sources said the Clinton entourage which uses its own US Air Force jet was considerable and comprised her personal staff, defence advisers and large security detail. Ms Clinton, one of the most heavily guarded public officials in the world, will arrive in Perth on Tuesday before attending AUSMIN talks on Wednesday with US Secretary of Defence Leon Panetta and Australian officials, including Defence Minister Stephen Smith and Foreign Minister Bob Carr.

Liz Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Is she so heavily guarded because she is also an ex-first lady?

bonnie Posted November 13, 2012 Author Posted November 13, 2012 Is she so heavily guarded because she is also an ex-first lady? She very well may be or there is sufficient security in her position at this time. Does being former first lady make her somehow more valuable than anyone else that has filled this post? I don't begrudge security but those that serve in dangerous area's of the world at the request of the president deserve what? Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.
