I'm glad he was late because I was still in line when he was supposed to go on stage, but luckily got in just in time because he was delayed. Spent three hours in line, but time went by fairly quick talking to all the other people.
Secret Service checkpoint was no joke, and the reason why the line took so long, even though there was about 20 lanes. They go through EVERYTHING, right down to every piece of paper inside your wallet, etc. Someone ahead of me had a small digital camera and they took a pic with it, and then looked at the photo on the screen to make sure it was an actual functioning camera, and not something that had been gutted (to hold explosive?) Old guy in front of me had a cane which they disassembled and then looked down inside it with a flashlight. No bags, backpacks, flagpoles, etc. allowed. I even had to remove my hat so they could look inside it.
