My feelings are that heads of state and top ranking government officials are justified in using private transportation for security reasons.  In countries with a monarchy, I would include the sovereign's spouse, heir and spouse, and minor children.  Although I do think it can be over-used.  As much as I like the Wales, I'll admit I don't approve of taking private helicopters off to Amner Hall, unless maybe it was a rare thing.     

But for purely private citizens to lecture others while not holding themselves to the same standards does smack of hypocrisy.
