Imagine that, the diplomatic repercussions this should have. If Obama's Air Force One was headed to Germany and France would force it down and try to search it... Well, Secret Service would shoot anyone trying to enter, but you'd probably see this act as a declaration of war to begin with.
And Merkel would probably applaud the Secret Service for their reaction. I never understood the hatred towards her until I had to witness her (non-)reaction to Snowden's revelations. She could have at least pretended to take them seriously and confront the US government, but she didn't even manage to do that. Since then, I despise her.
