Imagine:

--------------------------------
Each carried one part of a binary nerve agent.

A feather (they are hollow) with a nerve toxin in it. One jab on the back of the hand (which he gave you) and you have a incapacitated/dead President.

They ARE trained in hand to hand combat. They have the Presidents HAND, they can move to control the body and then the situation.

---------------------------------
I can think of DOZENS of scenarios where this could have turned into a bad thing.

What if they did not want to target Obama, but the visiting dignitary and create one HELL of an international incident?

This is a FAR FAR bigger issue than you make light of.

I will bet money that heads rolled and ARE rolling still over this issue.
