what nobody discusses is that not only does it cost $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$to fly POTUS around with all the advance workers and support equipment, but how bad they screw up traffic on the roadways and ALSO air traffic of other aircraft is blocked from the portions of the countery HE is being flown between-----THEY always go DIRECT which might save THEM hundreds of dollars in fuel costs, but it increases the area of the airspace that is shut down to airlines for a certain time before and after THEIR transit----it gets more comlicated in that in this voting sorie to Chicago, that west coast departures would be delayed so as not to be anywhere near the eastern airspace that AF1 might be in
