WCBS in New York is reporting that federal officials knew that having two fighter jets and Air Force One buzzing Manhattan would cause 9-11-type fears among people, but threatened local law enforcement that funds would be withheld if they warned the public.

The cost of the photo-op jaunt by Air Force One cost taxpayers more than $380,000.  Pretty expensive for a few “updated” shots of Air Force One with the Statue of Liberty in the background.  What a cluster.
