The TSA incident

Part III of my vegas trip involved me being a part of a national security incident.  As we landed in Phoenix,  we had the standard fare of everyone wanting to deplane the second we pulled up to the jetway.  A little backstory...all the time we were in the air, we were told the airport in Phoenix was delaying our arrival "for some reason".  Back to the story....we were quickly told to remain in our seat upon our landing because the TSA was coming on board.  They came on board and escorted someone off the plane.  We were then told we would all have to be re-screened through security before we could get on our next plane.  When we got off the plane, the walkway was lined up with TSA agents.  The delay of our landing was probably due to the airport getting ready for the security detail.  I went through the security checkpoint with no problem, and I believe I heard them say they grounded all flights until we were reprocessed.  I managed to snap a few photos with my cell phone of the security detail.  It was a surreal experience, but I appreciated the agents doing their job to keep everyone safe. (sorry for the blurry pic...I was trying to be secret agent like).
