“They said they had lost him and asked anyone who spotted him to call them. They gave out cards that said ‘Commerce Department security’ — and told the owner, ‘If you see him, will you call us immediately?’ ”

A spokesperson for the Department of Commerce said Ross’s detail found the secretary in minutes.
