US Fed boss Yellen bailed up by security

Being the head of the US Federal Reserve doesn't cut any ice at the G20 breakfast, where security officers demanded to see Janet Yellen's ID.

Turns out $US13 trillion doesn't guarantee you a fuss-free breakfast.

US Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen on Saturday was reportedly stopped by security and asked for ID as she entered a restaurant at the Intercontinental hotel in Sydney.

Wall Street Journal journalist Ian Talley says the central bank chief had to rifle through her purse to produce ID.
