The blue uniforms were out in full force the whole weekend. Last night they had a temporary 'drone' set up at the base of the escalators from ground transportation to ticketing that was going back and forth, scanning for something. The desk and computers controlling this device were staffed by two very important looking TSA employees - they must think they are helping keeping this so-very-important convention 'safe'.

I also noticed they had numerous police vehicles sitting in the grass beside the Signature Flight Support ramp - this must be the overflow area for the aircraft without reservations over at St. Paul Downtown Airport.

Finally, 55 from the airport to St. Paul was lined with various police vehicles all standing outside their cruisers watching traffic. Sounds like anyone renting a UHaul this weekend in St. Paul better find a different route...
