You can bet your ass that the costs were written down too. I'm sure the Secret Service keeps a very detailed analysis of all their missions.
Gas, vehicles, reservations, hotel rooms, food, everything. You got 15-20 agents being sent ahead, and another 15-20 who protect Obama while he is there. It all costs money, and its all written down.

Of course it did, but you can't place all of those costs on this trip. Many of them are fixed costs that are being paid every day regardless of the travel schedule of the President. Hence my point on the advance team, you can't place the salary costs of those individuals on the trip as they would be accruing no matter what.
