News and notes from around the interweb:
- This… does not convince people to support your cause.
NEW: Protester scolds woman for trying to make her flight as he blocks the intersection outside LAX on one of the busiest travel days.
Protester: These are people’s lives. You need to stop!
Woman: I’m going to miss my flight. I’m flying to Europe.pic.twitter.com/7KBhHPQEP2

- Oh, India.
(1) I love India
(2) Anybody who applies for an e-visa to India knows the website is always comically, profoundly, embarrassingly broken

- They were saving up Alaska Air miles. Then their accounts got drained loyalty fraud is frustrating for members, because of the hoops to get our points back. Usually programs make things right for their customers (at their own expense). The optimal amount of fraud is not zero because the measures necessary to get there would render a program unusable.
I want to know about redemptions right away, and email addresses can be changed (so emails notifying members of a redemption from their account may not reach them). In my view the best strateg is to allow Award Wallet and similar services to track accounts, so that members see balances update right away – they aren’t going to log into their account every day to check directly.
- United Club member brings random people with them into the lounge and in Denver they found a passenger from Africa who barely spoke English, was supposed to be meeting someone, and thought if they didn’t follow into the club they’d be kicked out of the airport.
I go up to him, “hey Paul what’s wrong?” He looks at me with fear and says, “I need to leave” I’m like oh dang no problem do you need to get your flight or something? He doesn’t understand so I tell him he can leave but can’t come back. This freaks him out even more, idk if he thought I was kicking him out of the airport, in fact I don’t think he had any idea what a airline lounge is, or where I had dragged him off to. I take him over to the agent and it is discovered that he is trying to meet a friend in the terminal or something. The agent then trys to tell him that he can come back but not his friend. This confuses him even more and at this point I leave him to sort it out with a friendly pat on the back and head to my gate.

Personally I think that standing in front of a car in protest is a Darwin thing and running the person over is just the universe working as it is supposed to so there should be no penalty, criminal or civil, for doing that.
@jns – my state, North Carolina, actually passed a law that you couldn’t be charged if you harmed someone in a car that was blocking a street. More cities and states need to do the same. If you want to protest fine but keep it on the sidewalk or other open spaces so you don’t block traffic. Those that block traffic frankly deserve whatever they get and with many carrying today that would quickly escalate.
Once again, Kalifornian’s doing Kalifornia things.
Try that at MIA. See how fast the Miami Dade cops haul your sorry George Soros $200 a day butt down to the local jail.
@Coffee Please — Meanwhile, in New Orleans, they closed down this whole street, and everyone’s drinkin’ vomitin’ and showin’ tatas… Nola gon Nola..
@George Romey
Soros paying $200/day??? Where to I sign up. Maybe Fox Spews will tell me.
@jns
I feel the same about flag-waving Nazis and Confederate flag wavers.
@Wiley Dog
Lefties are a fifth column and should be dealt with accordingly.
