News and notes from around the interweb:
- So, this happened: a kangaroo saw its cousin on the tail of a Qantas jet and stopped by for a chat.
Entry to level 6 of the T123 carpark is temporarily restricted while we work with Wildlife Victoria to safely relocate this kangaroo.
Important update: The kangaroo has been safely relocated back to its natural habitat.
- Wow. Big news for Apple AirTags, and for reuniting customers with mishandled bags.
Absolutely huge news for people who have anxiety about losing their luggage.
Not only is Apple integrating "Find My" with airlines directly, but the baggage-tracing system used by over 500 (!) airlines will start using this tech, too. AirTags are a must-have. pic.twitter.com/HHGSYHnNXS

Of course AA isn’t on the list of airlines, but DL and UA are.
Never spend a dollar more than absolutely necessary to move that plane, right? Even if it costs you employee time in searching for bags, or paying out when it can’t be found or is stolen. Nope, the smart thing is to not invest the time in AirTag integration, because that would cost money.
A little snarky about Boeing perhaps but I was thinking something similar.
I like that the meth courier was going to meet her boyfriend for the first time. Oh, and the fact that they took two of her phones. She sure sounds innocent to me with those plausibilities.
Got to pay exorbitant tuition, room and board somehow.
