However, once we deplaned and walked into the terminal, we encountered a blockade of TSA agents who wouldn’t let us leave the terminal. They even had every door guarded.&nbsp; They just told us there was a “security issue” that the sheriffs needed to be resolved, but of course, they wouldn’t elaborate, nor would they tell us how long it would take.&nbsp; So I called my hubby back and told him he might as well go back home and wait until they clear the “issue.”</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_2189_zps6fceebe2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I could see this young Asian man sitting with a sheriff inside the security area looking very forlorn and frustrated so I am assuming he was the “issue.”&nbsp; I kind of felt sorry for him.</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2013%2007%20ANA%20Summer%20Seminar/IMG_2191_zps519146ad.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Luckily, it only took about 20 minutes before they finally let us leave.&nbsp; Later that night I watched the news and searched online but didn’t find any information about what happened.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, that’s about it.&nbsp; Now I’m excitedly working on my very first numismatic exhibit with the hopes of at least not receiving the lowest score!!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Next up – the Coinarama show in San Diego this coming weekend, then the Ontario show the following weekend.&nbsp; After that, I’m headed to Shaver Lake for a wonderful relaxing week of camping with my hubby, sons, and their girlfriends (along with about 20 other familiar Edison families).&nbsp; This is especially exciting for me because I will finally end my alcohol beverage fast.&nbsp; I swear that as soon as we park the trailer in our spot, I’m popping open one of my best bottles of wine!!!!&nbsp; MMMMMMMMMMM can’t wait!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
