No, I didn't bring my evil looking semi-auto rifle along.
It was a relatively small amount of money.
I would have liked the money back (economy being
in the shape it is in...), but I was even more curious
just to see what would happen (or happen this time...
hum Twilight Zone theme here :-).

I did consider asking to see the video, since they brought
it up in support of their contention, but the potential downside was that
maybe they would
make me stand around for another 2 hours just to tell
me they couldn't let me see it for security reasons.

The wait was as annoying as anything else.  I initially offered
to leave the scrip and my telephone but they declined.

My overall thinking is that a certain part of living involves
dealing gracefully with bad luck...or karma, whatever...
