Yes. You would have. The president was there. They do not screw around with securing the president. If you so much as breathe funny you will be very carefully checked out. If a group of five of you suddenly congregate under an air duct that could theoretically be used to dispense a biological agent that would kill everyone in the stadium, including the president, they will check you out using any means they feel is necessary.
