华盛顿8月12日电（路透社）——紧闭的飞机舷窗遮光板、压低帽檐遮挡面容的棒球帽、被收缴的手机、严格的泄密禁令。
这些都是美国总统前往战区和高风险地区的秘密未公开出行的典型特征，这项已延续数十年的惯例，在唐纳德·特朗普总统于7月8日离开土耳其时脱离常规“空军一号”专机换乘另一架飞机后，再度引发了严密审视。

以往的流程是，陪同总统出行的工作人员和媒体随行团会提前获悉行程，并被要求签署保密协议，不愿遵守者可选择退出。
一位了解特朗普此次出行的消息人士称，此次并未遵循该流程，原因是总统面临的迫在眉睫的威胁性质前所未有。
仅有少数官员知晓此次精心策划的行动：用餐饮车将特朗普从总统专机转移至一架小型政府专机。大多数留在机上的人员，包括内阁官员和随行记者，都不知道他们所搭乘的飞机是诱饵，且当时面临导弹袭击威胁。
以下让我们回顾历届总统的部分秘密出行经历。
2003年感恩节赴巴格达
白宫当时公布的菜单上，有散养火鸡、玉米面包馅料、普雷里教堂山核桃派等菜品，据称是供乔治·W·布什总统2003年11月在得克萨斯州克劳福德牧场享用的感恩节晚餐。
但布什并未在牧场享用这顿晚餐。他压低帽檐遮挡面容，秘密搭乘“空军一号”飞往华盛顿附近的安德鲁斯联合基地，留下了负责全程报道他行程的大型记者团。对外宣称转移飞机的理由是需要进行维护。
飞机滑行至安德鲁斯基地的“空军一号”机库后，布什迅速登上另一架飞机，这架飞机在关闭灯光、拉上遮光板的状态下起飞前往巴格达。机上工作人员暂时收缴了记者的电子设备，以防泄密。
机上共有数名工作人员和13名媒体随行团成员，他们在几天前就得知了此次行程，并被警告：若行程泄密，飞机将在飞行途中掉头。
此次行程并未泄露。
布什在巴格达的一处美军基地慰问了驻军。记者们最终得以报道这一消息，是在“空军一号”返航并脱离危险区域之后。
比尔·克林顿从印度转机赴巴基斯坦
2000年，时任总统比尔·克林顿出访印度和巴基斯坦，原计划搭乘“空军一号”从孟买飞往伊斯兰堡，与一年前通过政变掌权的巴基斯坦将军佩尔韦兹·穆沙拉夫会晤。美巴关系紧张之际，此次出行引发了安全担忧。
当日的随行团报道称，克林顿绕过一架大型C-17运输机的机头，走向停在另一侧的两架小型军用飞机。第一架是无标识的白色喷气式飞机，后方那架带有“空军一号”标志性的美国空军标识。有人拍到克林顿登上那架白色飞机，并搭乘该机前往伊斯兰堡。
奥巴马突袭阿富汗之行
许多总统秘密出行的目的，仅仅是慰问战区驻军。
2014年阵亡将士纪念日当天，巴拉克·奥巴马总统突袭访问了阿富汗巴格拉姆空军基地，这是他第四次到访该国。此次行程筹备了数周，出于安全考虑直至抵达前都严格保密。白宫在奥巴马出发前几天才组建了小型随行媒体团。
身着“空军一号”轰炸机夹克的总统似乎很享受这次突袭行动，他对3000名驻军表示，自己“顺路经过这里，想着过来看看”。
特朗普访问伊拉克
2018年圣诞节期间，特朗普与妻子梅拉尼娅突袭访问了驻伊拉克美军。这是他首任任期近两年内首次访问冲突地区，此前数日他刚宣布将从邻国叙利亚撤军。

After Trump’s Turkey ruse, a look at past secret presidential trips

WASHINGTON, Aug 12 (Reuters) – Closed aircraft window shades. A ballcap pulled low to hide the president’s face. Seized cellphones. Strict warnings against leaks.
These are all hallmarks of secret, unannounced trips made by American presidents to war zones and high-risk areas, a decades-old practice that has drawn new scrutiny after President Donald Trump sneaked off the regular Air Force One jet to take a separate plane as he left Turkey on July 8.

The protocol has been that staff and members of the press pool accompanying the president were told in advance about the trips and sworn to secrecy. They could opt out if they wished.
A source briefed on the Trump trip said that was not done on this occasion because of the unprecedented nature of the imminent threat facing the president.
Only a small group of officials was aware of the elaborate operation to transfer Trump from the presidential jet to a smaller government plane using a catering truck. Most of those left aboard, including cabinet officials and traveling press, were unaware that the plane they were on was a decoy under threat of a missile attack.
Here is a look at some of the secret trips that presidents have made in the past.
BAGHDAD FOR THANKSGIVING 2003
Free-range turkey, corn-bread dressing, Prairie Chapel pecan pie — these were all items on the menu published by the White House for President George W. Bush for his Thanksgiving dinner in November 2003 at his Crawford, Texas, ranch.
But Bush was not there to enjoy the meal. Wearing a ballcap pulled low, he secretly flew aboard Air Force One to Joint Base Andrews near Washington, leaving behind a large press contingent dedicated to covering his every move. The cover story for moving the plane was that it needed maintenance.
The plane taxied into the Air Force One hangar at Andrews, and Bush bounded aboard another plane that took off for Baghdad with lights turned off and window shades shut. Plane personnel took reporters’ electronic devices temporarily to prevent leaks.
On board were several staffers and members of a 13-person press pool who had been told about the trip a few days earlier and warned that if word of it leaked the plane would be turned around in midflight.
The trip did not leak.
Bush spent time with troops at a U.S. base in Baghdad. Reporters were finally allowed to report the news once Air Force One was on the way home and out of harm’s way.
BILL CLINTON SWITCHED PLANES FROM INDIA TO PAKISTAN
In 2000, President Bill Clinton was on a trip to India and Pakistan and was scheduled to fly Air Force One from Mumbai to Islamabad to meet with General Pervez Musharraf, who had taken power in a coup in Pakistan the year before. Security concerns about the trip arose amid tensions in U.S.-Pakistan relations.
A pool report from that day said Clinton stepped around the nose of a giant C-17 and proceeded to a pair of small military jets parked on the other side. The first was an unmarked white jet; the one behind had Air Force One’s usual USA markings. Clinton was seen boarding the white jet, which he took to Islamabad.
OBAMA’S SURPRISE TRIP TO AFGHANISTAN
Many of the presidential trips were taken simply to thank troops in war zones.
On Memorial Day in 2014, President Barack Obama made a surprise trip to Bagram air base in Afghanistan, his fourth such trip there. The trip had been in the planning for several weeks and was kept secret for security reasons until his arrival. The White House put together a small press pool for the trip just a couple of days before Obama departed.
The president, wearing an Air Force One bomber jacket, seemed to relish the surprise, telling 3,000 troops he had been in the neighborhood and “thought I’d drop by.”
TRUMP GOES TO IRAQ
At Christmas time in 2018, Trump and his wife, Melania, made a surprise visit to U.S. troops in Iraq. It was his first trip to a conflict zone nearly two years into his first term and days after announcing a pullout of American troops from neighboring Syria.
