How is it a waste? Also this is done all the time for many sporting events in the US.

Good training for the air crews. It's a pretty good enlistment tool as well.

Exactly.

They do this all the time, its almost standard procedure.

Edit: The planes at the Superbowl were probably already on CAP anyways lest we forget The Sum of All Fears...

I would bet the cost of flying those planes over is a lot less than the cost of buying a 30 second commercial spot during the Superbowl.
