President Obama's Security

Ummm yea so it's probably not a good idea to try and mess with our president. I mean America is the most powerful nation in the world so you can imagine the security we have surrounding Barack Obama is simply mind blowing. Here's a little look:

Obama's Presidential Limo

According to Presidential vehicle experts, the new limo is a beast-like General Motors truck-based Cadillac that is so tough it's like a 'rolling tank with windows.'

Among the vehicle's main features are windows that are 5 inches thick, 19.5-inch Goodyear RHS tires (same as super tough trucks), and possibly even a lock safety mechanism that seals off the car like a bank vault in case of an emergency.

Because the Secret Service keeps details of the limo understandably private, even the most knowledgeable security experts don't really know how much gadgety tech is being installed in the new ride. But it's not stopping them making a few informed guesses.

In an interview with CNN, security expert Ken Lucci says rubber gaskets likely protect the car against chemical weapons and that the body will be made out of a tougher material than before. The most recent limo used by President Bush used some combination of a dual hardness steel, aluminum, titanium and even ceramics to break up possible projectiles. And there are usually steel overlaps that cover any gaps a door might leave.

Despite the immense secrecy, reports have leaked that the limo also comes with a 10-CD changer, which will inevitably end up playing Obama favorites like Steve Wonder and Bob Dylan. We're surprised there's no Blu-ray or Wii in there, but we're pretty sure of one thing: The limo will be a Zune-free zone, especially considering the most recent reports. [Wired]

Other Security
And if the new presidential limo wasn't impressive enough here is the kind of firepower the black SUVs that follow Obama's limo will be packing.

Here's some more info on that bad ass gun:
Dillon Aero, Inc. is the manufacturer of the Air Force GAU-2B/A (Army M134) 7.62mm minigun. It is a multi-barrel machine gun with a high rate of fire (over 3,000 rounds per minute), employing Gatling-style rotating barrels with an external power source.
