re: #434 Lincolntf

I totally understand why the Pres, wants to privacy/security for his family while on vacation, but how on Earth does he expect to enforce this request/demand:

“Further, added press aide Katie Lillie, there will be no tolerating reporters using cellphones to call or text friends with the president’s latest movements on the island. Since the Vineyard has relatively few roads - and it’s easy to figure out how Obama would travel from one venue to another - those in the press pool must agree not to telegraph where he’s going.
Violators, she said, would be thrown out of the pool.”

The threat of tossing them out of the press pool for risking the POTUS’s security is enough of a deterrent.
