Q In ''24,'' Dennis Haysbert's President Palmer is fishing in Oregon when he hears of a nuclear threat in L.A. and drives to meet his staff at a nearby bunker. Is that protocol?
A Perhaps Fox is invoking network executive privilege. If there were a nuclear threat when the President was outside Washington, D.C., ''he would be on Air Force One immediately,'' says Chase Brandon, the CIA's film-industry liaison. (The Prez might not head to the White House, since it could be a target.) Brandon adds that once the chief exec has arrived at a secure location, it is ''totally plausible'' to fly some cabinet members out to join him. Fox had no comment.
