JDAM, schmaDAM . . . what do you mean those aren't in the INCONUS ROE? Surely the Secret Service wouldn't care about jets around POTUS loaded for air-to-ground . . . ?

“But sir, it was a really, really scary looking Cessna...I thought I could follow it back and crater the runway. Problem solved!”

USN aircraft: Accidentally enters presidential TFR.
Also USN aircraft: Rogers up to intercept itself and escort out of area, hoping no one notices.

Kind of ended up that way as I recall, but it still resulted in some phone calls involving Bosses and Bosses' Bosses.
