Just a thought. If you were building an underground military complex; would you hide it in plain sight?
Station troops in subways ...who's to say if troops are moving in and out of a secret bunker? Who's to say that all the "passengers" aren't officers or support staff? Las Vegas as "Jane" aircraft flying in and out of it every day.
According to, (yes, I know) Wikipedia, you are correct:
The fleet's "Janet" call sign is said to stand for "Just Another Non-Existent Terminal"[3][4] or "Joint Air Network for Employee Transportation".[5]
Love the first paragraph:
Janet and Janet Airlines are unofficial names of a highly classified fleet of passenger aircraft operated for the United States Department of the Air Force[1] as an employee shuttle to transport military, DoD civilians, and contractor employees to Special Access Program Facilities (SAPF). The airline mainly serves the Nevada Test and Training Range (most notably Area 51 and the Tonopah Test Range) from a private terminal at Las Vegas's Harry Reid International Airport.[2]

I thought the airline was 'Janet'.
I believe it was the terminal as in:
Just Another Non Existing Terminal.

I thought JANE stood for: Just Another Nameless Entity
Not sure what Janet would stand for.
