On the advantages of looking gift horses in the mouth [View all]

Someone much wiser than me told me, "always look a gift horse in the mouth. There's a reason he's free."

The particular gift horse I am addressing today is the nearly-new Boeing 747-8 the Qatari government donated to the festering boil who is our leader. I have a bit of experience in secret squirrel shit, and I wonder...how much tracking technology and how many bugs that don't come on until the plane is at cruising altitude did Qatar State Security add to this aircraft before they gave it to Trump?

What might be advisable before they let Trump go on too many trips in this thing is to run it up to about 30,000 feet then have the National Security Agency fly over it with an electronic collection aircraft to see what's coming out of it.
