Last week, my hubby was livid because he was held up in traffic on Hwy. 41 for 20+ minutes, making him late for work for the first time (he's usually early). He stopped being POed when he found out that traffic was stopped because of Vice President Cheney's visit to Wrightstown. He was docked the 20 minutes, but he understood--and he found out later that one of the supervisors and two of his co-workers were also stuck in the same traffic jam.
My only question would be why the Secret Service allowed the kids to get on the elevator to begin with. I thought it SOP to have an agent at the entrances to elevators.
