Not only is she the top House official, she's second in line to the presidency, so she has some pretty serious security.

During her first stint as Speaker, Republicans threw a fit because she flew on a government jet to California on weekends - ignoring everyone who reminded them that it was for security purposes and that previous Speakers did the same.

For some reason, they piped down their "How dare the Speaker fly on a government plane!" tirades when the Republicans took back the House and Boehner and Ryan used the same travel protocols. I'm surprised they haven't started up again with that now that Speaker Pelosi is on that plane once more.
