IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING

No action needed; monitor for follow-up reporting on any policy or security-protocol changes, but this item does not merit further constitutional tracking.

Why This Score

This is a routine national security/logistics story about presidential travel security precautions in response to a threat. It contains no constitutional mechanism (no election interference, rule of law violation, separation of powers issue, civil rights impact, institutional capture, corruption, or incitement to violence). It has moderate human-interest/novelty appeal (older plane, dramatic threat framing) but lacks strategic distraction indicators like timing correlation with damaging news or narrative pivot engineering. A-score is negligible; B-score is moderate but insufficient alone to clear the 25 threshold for List B. Classified as Noise given the absence of mechanism and low overall constitutional relevance.
