Apparently it's just an EO from Shrub.
"After 9/11, President George W. Bush ordered that the Speaker of the House be afforded secure government transportation on military aircraft when traveling on official business...In '07, Speaker Pelosi inquired about the availability and rules regarding the use of military aircraft other than the C-20B. ...[like] a C-32 Boeing 757, (which the Air Force describes as seating up to 45 passengers) so that she could travel in luxury and reward her financial contributors with lavish trips.
Speaker Pelosi said that her inquiry involved security issues, primarily that she should have access, when needed, to an aircraft capable of flying non-stop between Washington and California, a quality the Air Force said was not possessed under all conditions by the C-20 aircraft used by her predecessor.
It was the then-House Sergeant at Arms, Bill Livingood, who issued the request that, if necessary, the Speaker have access to a military plane meeting the non-stop security requirements for travel to and from her home district."

Really?
Then make stops on military bases.
I've heard they are fairly 'secure'.
