When she walked back up toward the front of the security area, I just stood there. She looked back and yelled "You can come up here". I walked about 20 feet toward her only to have her shout "YOU CAN'T COME IN HERE!!!!" If she wasn't trying to get me shot or arrested, she was doing a good impression of someone who was.
