I think it was one lady who was seriously off her rocker. 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.

It's all those damn terrorists in N.M. That or some guy at the airport has a
grudge against Leica products.
