I've exited helicopters via ropes (fast rope & rappelling) in many situations and environments under "training", but never in, on, or around a state capital.

Why should we not believe this is for acclimating the people to seeing/ experiencing these types of events on a more regular basis in a more urban environment?

I just can't see the red tape that has to be addressed - including the inconvenience/ annoyance of State officials and their duties - much less the inherent risks associated, in order to conduct such event(s) under the guise of "training".
