I am going to disagree. I don't think they could have altered the flying flags that completely. These guys planned this enough to get up there and get away without being seen. I think they could have planned to take the flags down and replace them. Do you have any evidence to support your conclusive statements that they did something to the flying flags or are you just one of those folks on the Internet who makes definitive statements with no evidence because you think that's the way it happened?
This is just what they were saying on the news yesterday. They said flags are suppose to be pretty hard to change, that they do not have a raise/lower system and the clips that keep them to the pole are supposed to pretty beefy to prevent something like cutters getting them off.
They could of easily cut the material part of the flag off though.

ETA1: think about it. if you leave a flag up in the elements/weather for an extended time period it will fade and deteriorate. Im assuming they rotate new flags in at some points. So there is a way to change them out.
ETA2: Look at the pic you posted. you can clearly see rings the flag is attached to and a cord going to the top of the flag poll to lower the flag.
