I firmly agree. I think it is the main point of the things.

In fact there are even parts of the temple that take further rank to enter. I remember asking why all of us non-mormons were allowed in and although I don’t remember the specifics of the reason, it had to do with something of the lines of “it wasn’t officially a ‘temple’ yet”. It had to go through some sort of ceremony or something and was still “just a building”.

Temples are just a building until they are dedicated to the Lord. A Temple has many areas that are not "off limits" most have waiting rooms, cafeterias and laundry (usually in the basement) and in an emergency I am sure those would be the safest places and available.

Attributing base motives is not Christlike behavior.

You lost me on that comment. Right over my head.
