What makes Camp David so safe? Is it safe from Missiles and Chemical/Biologica/Nuclearl attacks?

Question

Is it safe from Missiles and Chemical/Biological/Nuclear Attacks?

WOW that's surprising James !! I wonder why the location is public? That's not too smart!!??

I ask because it seems strange to highlight when the President is there. If I was in charge of his security I would do the opposite.

Answer 1

It's not any safer than the White House and no one ever claimed it was. It's well known where it is.

Edit: The location is public because it's not a safe house. It's not a place to whisk the president to if he's in danger. There are certainly places for that and they are NOT public.

Answer 2

Actually, the President does not go to Camp David for his safety, he goes there because it is a secure and secluded area where he can work and then relax without direct interference. When it was said earlier that it was 'public' I think he meant that the location is known of publicly, but access to the location is very heavily secured. You and I cannot walk up and party with the President.

There is supposed to be a secured location elsewhere in Maryland in the western mountains, I believe. This is supposed to be an underground hardened and air-tight facility. That might be what you were thinking of.

Then, of course, there is the 'undisclosed location' that apparently was disclosed by the National Enquirer or some other tabloid a few years ago.

Answer 3

The safer sites are located at:
National Military Command Center-Pentagon
Raven Rock Site R
Cheyenne Mountain
STRATCOM Command Center-Omaha
Olney Special Facility
Denton FRC
Mount Weather
Mount Pony
Casper [The Greenbrier]
Davidsonville
Brandywine
Hagerstown
Mercersburg
Boonsboro
Oakville Grade
State Emergency Ops Centers
Annapolis NRTF

Answer 4

Unfortunatly nothing is safe from any of these things I am sorry to say.

Answer 5

Why do you ask? Have some plans?
