41. "Why would they be concerned about bugs while in Turkey, but not elsewhere? "

I don't think "bugs" were the real issue. It was everything else.

See map of what they were dealing with -

Note the location in proximity of countries engaged in active hostilities.

That giant flying white elephant plane has zero defensive capabilities.

Later in the OP article is this quote -

This is a cover story of some kind to try to deploy one plane to Britain and have the president return to the old plane that was Air Force One there. There’s more going on. I think the war in Iran may have some something to do with it. He is in Turkey. It’s right next to Iran.

You also have Russia and Ukraine lobbing missiles and drones at each other.
