On Domestic trips in the USA the newspaper and websites issue travel delays, road closures, etc prior to Air Force One landing - days in advance. In LAS there is much Criticism of any President, VP or first family traveling into our city as it ties up roads all over town as well as the airport (LAS). Nellis AFB could be used, but it is not.
<redacted> my point is AA would have known of such events in advance, unless this was a unknown arrival of Air Force One in advance. In this case, it clearly was not.

I blame AA on this one. Good luck to the OP getting your bags.
