Do you have any specific reasons to believe that the USG ever stopped or even simply tried to discourage the Concorde from flying to airports on the U.S. East Coast?

As for flying over populated parts of the U.S. at supersonic speeds, not even the U.S. Air Force gets to do that. (Source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8209976)

I've been in a sonic boom under a navy plane in the continental USA, not adjacent to any military base. But it only happened once, so maybe it was a mistake.
