I noticed. And bluetooth or not, that beat the snot out of Mister Occam.

As Mister Mojo might be suggesting, any world leader visiting DC probably needs to consider whether or not they can afford to have a picture appear on the front page of their leading newspaper (if not state-controlled) or on some Web log (if not state-controlled) that shows them shaking hands with the current occupant of the Maison Blanche/Qasre Safid/White House.

Not all of the world's politicians are as incompetent as Bush, so I have to believe that these handshaking details are worked out well in advance.

edit: should read: "as you and Mister Mojo might be suggesting" -- planted device that explodes when you get home....
