Hertz is a very badly run company. They hired Palantir to help them because they cannot track their fleet of cars. They regularly think their cars have been stolen, and have reported them stolen, when they still had the cars and were renting them out. That got their customers arrested, sometimes at gunpoint, and then they’ve been unwilling to retract false police reports out of fear that the retractions would lead police to stop trusting their false reports.
A man at the Miami airport was filmed going through unclaimed bags and actually trying on shoes and clothing inside to see what fit. Normally you’d expect someone to steal the bag, take it off airport, and open it up to check out their loot away from watchful eyes?
Instead this man is just sitting at baggage claim, going through four pieces of luggage. He tosses aside a purse, then finds pants only to discover they’re too small for him. No one stopped him, and I guess it’s just the kind of out of sample behavior anywhere else that’s normal at the Miami airport?

After an hours-long mechanical delay, United Airlines cancelled flight 997 from Accra, Ghana to Washington Dulles on Thursday. Customer baggage was offloaded and returned. Passengers were told to return the next day, but were not provided with hotels for the night.
Friday night, another mechanical delay for this flight. And another eventual cancellation. Military was called in. The airline announced that no hotel rooms would be provided, and this time luggage wasn’t returned.
