Here’s a thought. Wouldn’t it be something if the government had upgraded the “football,” the briefcase carrying the nuclear launch codes that travels everywhere with the President Obama, to an iPad (it might even save taxpayer)? However, this particular Apple tablet was likely a gift to the President in Poland and came loaded with host country swag, including the Oscar nominated film Cathedral and game title The Witcher 2.

Thereupon, although it’s been on the market for just over a year, the iPad already has tremendous traction in government. Norway’s prime minister has been spotted governing with one and US Congressmen by the score use them, as well.

Lastly, have a second look at the picture — the Secret Service guys on the roof, Marine Corps guards and goodness knows how many machinegun-packing Agent Smith types are out of frame. A rather unique set of characters all the way ’round…

What’s your take?
