      Insteresting.

      I would have chosen a different wording but I don't like to make Gene work too hard on the moderation 😉

      Haha, everyone else does why not you?

      Honestly on this one I'm not sure I should post my real thoughts on it. Maybe I'm just paranoid this afternoon.

      As a non-American citizen who would like to travel and explore your country further your country's thought police tactics give me pause.

          Did NYS ever update their ID requirements?

              We were just there nine days ago. This is our main airport these days!

              Bombing and gun shots at Ataturk Airport in Istanbul, Turkey.

                            Up to three bombings and 28 dead, 60 injured at Ataturk. And @Jaguar is trapped in Amsterdam having JUST missed being at Ataturk for this. He was trying to get an earlier flight and could not get one and would have been there. But now he is stuck in Amsterdam unable to get back home.

                              Suppose there's occasions to be glad you missed a flight. Worse places to be suck too all things considered.

                                He didn't bring his laptop with him, which really sucks now.

                                  This would be my very last problem in such a case. Better celebrate an additional birthday per year.

                                      Not having his laptop meant that he couldn't rent a long term place and work from Europe, so not getting back home means he was burning his vacation / holiday time stuck in a hotel sitting by the phone waiting to hear if they got him a flight. If he had had his laptop, he could have used the time as work time and it would not have been too costly of a problem.

                                      He got lucky, some Dutch friends managed to get him a flight back to Atlanta. he should be there tonight.

                                          Time to shut down the post and fire 50,000 slackers who can't do their jobs.

                                            Let FedEx and UPS handle this stuff. No need for government mail delivery in this day and age.
