If anything those involved would love to find ways how to spend even more!
Remember watching the news awhile back and seeing various directors leave the white house. Most in big, black luxury vehicles, except the CIA director who got into what seemed a very normal looking, grey, mid-sized SUV, Toyota maybe. Really shows who wants to be seen and who really cares about not being a target.
Sure there's a certain intimidation factor when a VIP comes to visit with a huge security detail, but ultimately if the US Government REALLY wanted to threaten Apple they would use pieces of paper to do so (e.g. court orders, sanctions, national security letters, or w/e).
In which case either the device was unlock very quickly or if there's an equally short visit some time later, it's the FBI picking up the device again.
If the government really wanted to Threaten Apple Tim Cook would be visited in the night, and not by someone with a CHP motorcade
This is a Pre-Threat... Threat
Remember this government has no problems killing citizens with drones with out any trial... You do what you are told or you will get a predator missile up your ass
There a good video someone captured of it on Twitter[1]. Though her post is timestamped at 4:36pm, and the weather kinda looks more like it did at around 4.
I have no idea if it's the same one, of course, but how many days do police-escorted motorcades happen in a metropolis?
Haven't managed to find anything on an actual news site.

It's interesting because FAA says there is no such N number and 007JB is obviously a play on James Bond.
A jet of that size would absolutely be capable of carrying multiple vehicles and agents.

My knowledge of vehicle types is subpar.
This reads like something made up by someone who has never actually been to Infinite Loop.
Nothing to see here those are not the droids you looking for!
