any suspicious objects.
A few minutes later, the head of the President's
security service made the same request.
Later, Mr. Lockhart told reporters they could presume
from the exercise that there had been a threat. He
refused to give any details.

adminstration official said nothing suspicious was
found following a search of the aircraft.
Security had been a concern in Greece, where a series
