this person has some sort of OpenCV setup from a high-rise view. (bonus: Air Force One is currently there)

I'm kind of surprised that they would park it next to other planes like that. Especially with what appears to be no ground troops surrounding the plane.

The extreme zoom of the camera makes everything look close together. In reality it's probably quite far from most other planes.

Why would you have them stand outside to guard the plane when the airport is already fenced off, and has surveillance/security? Even if they do need people guarding it, it doesn't make sense to stand outside. Waiting inside or in a nearby SUV would be much more comfortable for the guards.

Guards sitting comfy in an SUV is not a really good guard detail.

Surveillance cameras placed by the airport provides much better situational awareness than a bunch of bored guards standing around.

That place is crawling with cops from the gutter to the street lights.
