it looks like a special phone, one probably brought in just for the occasion. See that big thick wire coming out of it?

They knew jet liners had been hijacked and used as weapons and there he sits in a known location (was on national TV) as if there was no danger whatsoever.

Either there was or there was not any danger for the POTUS. I'd say they knew he was not in any danger.

Not only the 7 minutes when he did not move an inch in the classroom with all the kids there
but now making phone calls outside the classroom.
No Secret Service Men grabbing him and hauling him off to a safe place, or to the plane.

Unlike Cheney's story, when he was in DC in his office and reported being hauled off to the bunker.

where a hijacked plane or several could have been barreling towards that school! Yet they stay at least another half hour.
