And that's the checkpoint that was run eventually by the perp.

But you went through that and you went down maybe even another level to get to the entrance of the ballroom and then you kind of made your way to your seat.

Yeah.

So my recollection is we went down at least two levels to get to the ballroom.

I thought we went down a level and you went through the security screening and then you went down another level to get down to where the ballroom itself was.

Somewhere along the way, there was a coat check that I was not allowed to get my super duper coat on my way out when I was allowed, you know, do not pass, go get the heck out of here.

But fun times on that part.

But basically, going down, I think, two levels to get from main entryway down to the ballroom.

And the security checkpoint was in the middle.

And to be honest, when I went through, I didn't pay too much attention.

I've gone through a lot of these kinds of events, national conventions, other kinds of things.

And you sort of notice there are some uniformed people.

Then there's people you don't recognize whether their uniform is...

sort of commercial security or some form of police.

They didn't seem like Secret Service, but there definitely were Secret Service agents present.

And you'd go through the magnetometer.

If you set it off, you'd get wanted.

If you didn't set it off, they'd say, thank you, get your things, and you kept walking.

So I remember things kind of getting around, getting underway around seven-ish where people were opening up the entryway and having people fill in.

You know, when you have overly educated people, it takes them a long time to get in and stop talking and find their seats.
