		SFO managers had traveled the world in hopes of winning airport privatization concessions, using city money, living on city paychecks, boasting of their authority as San Francisco city officials, while actually working on behalf of SFO Enterprises, which was very specifically set up not to be part of the city government.
		Overseas, airport bureaucrats were presenting themselves as city officials, and glossing over or minimizing the difference between the city of San Francisco, which has tens of billions of dollars in assets, and SFO Enterprises, which was worth $10,000.
		In Panama, a notarized document lists the San Francisco International Airport -- which, legally speaking, is the same as the City and County of San Francisco -- as a 10 percent equity partner in Airport Management Group Inc., a corporation created to bid on the privatization of a Panamanian airport.
