... that taking a commercial flight would mean extra security at the airport and on-board, having to accommodate her SS detail, pre-screening of other passengers booked on the same flight, chaos at the air terminal with crowds gathering for a look-see, and the media arriving with their crews and gear in tow?

HRC taking "a cheap commercial flight" would inconvenience thousands of travelers - but then there could be a dozen OPs about how that selfish 1%er created havoc at two airports today because she was too cheap to get her own plane, and instead chose to let the "little people" suffer delays and/or missed flights due to the chaos she created.

Yeah, Hill - ya gotta go with those "cheap commercial flights". It's SO much better for everyone all around.
