If they travel on commercial airlines how does all the security and thier entourage travel without booking up most of the plane?
Years ago, Mamie Eisenhower travelled only by train -- Amtrak would give her a business car to ride in and place a sleeping car between it and the rest of the train for the security people that were travelling with her.
