I love her values - personal convenience vs national security. This is just the sort of person we need in the White House. It reminds me of a president (I forget which one) who tied up Air Force One on a runway at who knows what cost to the taxpayer just so he could get a haircut.
2 minutes of runway delays, according to the wikipedia source, the FAA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton_haircut_controver...
I have more of a problem with idling the engines while your hair is cut than of the closed runways. Today the complaint would be ecological not economical.
However if idling of the engines is required by security protocols then you can't complain nearly as much.
I do expect to put a ridiculous time value of money on the Presidents time and even higher on security. But it should be done to minimize inconvenience to others.
I am constantly surprised at both the vehemence and the triviality of the ire that people direct at the Clintons. There is literally nothing that people will not attack them with.
