News and notes from around the interweb:
- On Friday morning police responded to a Delta gate when a passenger was harassing employees, and threatening to kill the Illuminati He also offered, “You guys know what’s in my checked bag? Just wait until we’re up in the air” while making finger‑gun gestures. He told police he’d been staying at a Hilton near the airport and believed “the Illuminati” were following him.
- In 2021 American Airlines put out a request for proposals for a new New York JFK Terminal 8 concessions program. In summer 2023, they announced a planned refresh of the terminal including new concessions. They’ve now announced what will go into the Food Hall.
- Pre-9/11 you didn’t need a boarding pass to go through airport security. At some airports, you still don’t, though you don’t get PreCheck screening. And a decade ago you didn’t need to be flying an airline or its partners to enter their lounge if you were a member. So if you lived near the airport, or your commute took you through there, your club membership really paid dividends.

Guy sitting next to me isn’t flying anywhere. Lives in the area. Stopped here for a drink.
This is, without a doubt, the most insane thing I have ever witnessed.

And religion continues to spread joy, hope and progress.
When you believe in something so absurdly crazy, some adherents do absurd and crazy things
They used dogs to search the gate for the “illuminati ” guy. No way to know for sure, but I suspect it’s more likely a bomb was in the luggage at another gate than that one. But, they gotta search…
We Illuminati will not be intimidated by such threats.
@Mantis — But, they do seem a ‘intimidated’ by the Epstein files… huh. Speaker Mike should seat that duly elected Congresswoman from AZ, so we all can finally find out. Oh, and the Senate should also approve healthcare subsidies for Americans, too. Yet, I bet you’ll deflect and just blame the ‘other side,’ instead.
More and more people hooked on Big Pharma.
