Don't feel too badly about security.  We, too, had a bad experience with some
of the "boys in brown".  Three of us, (two karate instructors and a student)
were sitting by a door.  A security "officer" informed us that we were sitting
near a fire door and "move.  Now". As we got up to move, I looked at the door
and commented that fire doors should be marked as such so people wouldn't 
sit near them.

Mr. Security then said, "Move your asses now or I'm going to start some 
trouble", as he was punching his hand. Hmmm.  At this point I ceased wondering
why fans were commenting that the hotel really didn't want us there.  Being
good Boskoners, we didn't beat the guy up, but left, hoping NESFA would either
change hotels next year, or ask the Marriott to weed out street punks from 
their security staff.
