Hell, those security police are trigger happy. Ain't no way this could ever happen to most military planes on a government installation let alone Air Force one.
I was a CE (civil engineering) low ranker at Grissom AFB Indiana before it was closed. One of the thankless duties i had while stationed there was snow removal. Well my luck had me there for one of the worst snowfalls in the last 30 years in the winter of either 92 or 93 can't remember now. Anyways we had 20 inches in one night and i was a plowing sumbitch on the flight line.
Well there is a painted red line that encompasses pretty much any and all runways. To cross this line takes the approval of many individuals from air traffic controllers, groundcrew etc.
Well with 20 inches of snow on ground i made the mistake of crossing said line (in a government vehicle and in my government issue Air Force BDUs, without this approval. I was dragged out of the plow put face first in the snow with cocked and locked semiautomatic weaponary stuck in my back for 10 minutes until my identification was verified. This is what happened when a fellow enlisted Airman ventured onto the tarmac, with only kc135's and a few a10s in the area.
Sorry, but if you try and "tag" Air Force One, pres or no pres in the area, you will get lit up in a quick. Security police are ready and more than willing because they don't see too much action guarding aircraft.
It would make for good entertainment though
