I actually do not have an issue with this. CBS apparently trying to stir the pot. Secret Service doing their job to get Individuals from plane to car, out of open, unsecured areas with no delays. So someone shows up with a White House Press Badge at an airport that might have been copied at Kinkos. The Secret Service did the right thing to get them from a secured point a to point b in an area unsecured by the Secret Service.
