- I grew up as a business traveler expecting to see mice in United’s Red Carpet Club at Washington Dulles, not in a British Airways lounge at Heathrow.
Come on @British_Airways this isn't what you expect to see in the business lounge! pic.twitter.com/txylcUYc9C

- Southern California man accused of being DB Cooper, the man who hijacked a Northwest flight in 1971 and parachuted out midflight with a ransom never to be found, by a team of 40 volunteers including retired law enforcement investigators. The man “has offered strange denials that raise more questions than they answer.”
- A TSA agent pulled his best Jay Baruchel impersonation with actress Brie Larson and it didn’t go over well.
I merely smiled at a TSA agent and he asked for my phone number. To live life as a woman is to live life on the defense.

Here’s a hint for the TSA: Alice Eve would have a harder time refusing the advance. And either way, your colleagues can give her a secondary.
Airports are like islands built in the middle of fields with tons of trash, food, tunnels and hidden spaces to hide. Of course mice and rats will be in airports. I would assume the older and the bigger the more mice or rats you will have (but maybe not see).
Based on the police drawing, I could have told you a long time ago it was Fred Astaire.
As usual , a whole lot of nothing about Uncle Dan .
Bring on the mice! They’re the only meat on offer in the Galleries lounge these days anyway.
