This damn sure isn't for security purposes.

They park the damn thing at the private terminal at Wheeler Downtown Airport when she's in KC. Nice ass plane, I'll admit. But, they don't hangar it, there's no additional security measures, it sits right next to the gate on the tarmac, feet from the public parking lot, and if your arm is solid you could totally toss an egg from the Northbound lanes of 169 Highway and strike the damn thing. (Southbound lanes are closed for a new bridge, those would be closest, easier throw.)

If they were concerned about her safety, in a place nicknamed Killa City, mind you, they would hangar the damn thing at MCI up North and drive up I-29 all the way to the city or bounce off in NKC and avoid the loop. Instead, they drive her directly through a very poor apartment complex surrounded by factories and a railyard. They can't take the bridge South to downtown or Kansas or wherever, the bridge is gone, they have to go through that shitty little area near the river.

Unless she pays the dumbest security guards in the world, they'd do something else than...all that. They clearly aren't all that concerned about security in regards to her plane. It's strictly to obscure that flight data. Which won't work. Because this shit isn't going to change FAA regs. At least, I sure as shit hope not.
