I had another idea "Stealth Tunnels".
These are open-ended tubes, big enough to fit a limo into. They absorb almost all incident radiation, and have an efficient stealth speed drive, and a pretty stupid robot pilot.
Their job is to be summoned by a particular set of frequences, which slowly changes, in a rotating pattern, and they then engulf any vehicle up to limo size. The vehicle is then flown out of the plane of the ecliptic, randomly 'up' or 'down', and left there. Or, if it's already well above the plane, to near Kickassia, then released.
The tube then returns to the upper atmosphere of Earth and dumps all the stored heat it has accumulated from absorption and running its drive, as well as from the vehicle carried. Then it recharges from the anti-protons trapped in the Earth's magnetic field.
So, you have a way of getting your limo to and from Kickassia, without being trailed by those pesky reporters.
