I wish!!!! It was about 500 travel industry muckity mucks and lobbyists (from AMEX to Delta to Starwood to Disney to CVBs, etc, etc) listening to Tom Ridge try to defend DHS's "balance" between security and convenience and how we should APPRECIATE that they want to invade our privacy just so we can get through security faster thanks to his tenure. I am not sure, but I think the biggest applause line came when he mentioned that he is currently unemployed 
Oh, and an open bar, so it wasnt ALL bad.
