How to Bow to a Foreign Nation without the Public Knowing?

One way to get around the whole bowing problem? Don’t let in the reporters until you’re already sitting down.
President Obama played host to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia at the White House on Tuesday but avoided the diplomatic trapdoor he fell through a year ago by greeting the monarch without cameras around to record whether he bowed first.

I know, its not like they salute him out of response...but he's going to bow to him, then the next time he doesn't let the press in till after they meet? Hmmm...I wonder if he bowed again, lol.
