Although I think this pilot is a bit of a tosser, not wanting to be accommodated near an Embassey is not as silly as it sounds. Although they are fairly secure they do remain high on the target list of 'bad guys'. And don't forget, the Pentagon is as secure as it gets and the 911 fruitloops managed to attack it, not to mention the other hijacked aircraft that almost made it to Capitol Hill or the Whitehouse.
