'Army' Needed to Move Saudi King

Even for a king, this seems a bit excessive: Page Six says King Abdullah left New York City for Saudi Arabia with “at least a dozen” tractor trailers filled with luggage. He showed up with his own army of contractors to conduct his security screening, then set off with his entourage in six private jets (with separate ones for his two wives who accompanied him). The contractors were hired because the TSA was unable to handle Abdullah’s large entourage and its volume of luggage. King Abdullah stayed for two months in New York while recovering from back surgery, renting whole floors of the Plaza and Waldorf-Astoria hotels.
