Three jets to go see a show.

No mention of how many planes and autos it took to transport the Secret Service and other personnel.

The President should be able to take a trip with his wife to see a play in NYC. All the hoopla is the SS overkill that has developed over the years. It's bureaucratic empire building in the name of security. Keeping it secret would give real security. Don't announce it and slip him in and out of town.
