    Even presidents with secret service detail have been assassinated. Taylor Swift has been dealing with stalkers showing up at the airport for years, and there isn’t much her security detail can do about it until they draw a weapon or something. I don’t agree with the legislation, but that doesn’t mean the problem isn’t real.

      Can you show evidence of this? Because all I see when I search for Taylor Swift, airport and stalker are people watching her plane’s location online.

      It also doesn’t make much sense to me. She wouldn’t be walking through the regular airport if she was flying in a private jet.

        The plane has to land at some point. That is done at an airport. Not sure how that’s confusing. Yeah so it’s smaller air field. Not having crazy stalkers track her is a good thing.

        Because she’s rich she isn’t allowed any privacy or safety?

          The confusing part is how these crazy stalkers (still haven’t shown that these people exist) get into the private area of the airport reserved for people who have private jets and chartered flights.

      There hasn’t been a successful attempt in 60 years since JFK, who insisted on terrible security practices (open roof vehicle) and some failings on the secret service. Since then theyve really tightened everything up.

      With proper procedures and a competent team, they’ll be fine.

          Except that dude that just walked into the front door of the white house that one time… I’d say that guy got pretty close.
