How do they handle security?  I wouldn't store lots of valuable gems in

a different hotel room, leaving the room with the gems was unoccupied.
Especially since it would be widely known that the gems were there.

You should have seen the Obama inauguration.  That's the largest
event I've ever been to.  People had to go indoors because the
outdoors was full.
