(Ejected with out cause) Interview at FERC with Pramilla Malic on Minisink Compressor Issues.

I entered, told security my name, told them 
they were notified of my arrival, granted a badge, and meet with a media relations officer who I presented my credentials to, checked with his superiors and told me I could interview in the first floor foyer and could participate as a news reporter at the FERC hearing.  I followed the rules for asking questions,and after the meeting thanked the media relations officer for the opportunity and later exercised his grant to interview people at the ground level.

While I was granted permission at multiple levels of FERC to interview in the lobby it was suddenly revoked with out explanation or explained why the front open lobby of a government building far before the security scan point was being treated like a private enterprise.  Is this not paid through tax payer funding?   

Should a public servant  be able to eject arbitrarily any person engaged in an interview and eject them from the property for having the equipment?  

I was told to "Cease and desist" or I would be arrested.
