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.

My guess--and this is only a guess--is that the kids got on the elevator on the last ride before the elevators were shut down & the agents were posted. Doocey had to wait until Kerry got his ride & the USSS released the elevators for normal traffic.

I just can't even begin to imagine the traffic snarls in NYC and Boston during the conventions.

Wait...couldn't he have walked up the steps with the Secret Service. This doesn't really make too much sense. They're kids.
