That not just selfish, that's irresponsible. Why not ensure better transportation links for Dullas instead. Aren't the two airports less than an hour away from each other?

Pentagon to Dulles Airport is 20 miles in direct distance.
It takes 1 hour by subway as there is no direct connection and the lines have a lot of stops.
The real solution would be a direct subway with no stop between Dulles and Pentagon. 20 miles using a fast subway should be no more than 25 minutes in travel time. The subway could then continue making a loop in central DC, serving all the offices next to the White House etc.
But that would be good public transportation and that is outside of Congress' Overton Window.
