The plane landed at Andrews Air Force Base.
Landing at a military airport is obviously for safety reasons, and to add a bit more, Air Force One is also usually stationed at this airport.
When Gao Yi and his team disembarked the plane, Panetta indeed personally came to welcome them, though ostensibly, the most important guest was Amos.
As the world's number one terrorist, Amos deserved a personal greeting from the CIA director.
Amos was the first to be escorted off the plane. He was handcuffed, and a CIA agent took out a black hood to put over Amos's head. However, upon seeing the hood, the usually cooperative Amos resisted vehemently.
"Hey, this wasn't part of the agreed process."
"It's for your safety."
"Save it. I've already been seen by everyone worldwide. Why would I care about this last bit of time? I don't want to wear the hood."
Amos refused to wear the hood, and Nevan, from behind, helplessly said, "It's more for our safety, so you have to wear this hood."
