So, to begin with...let us tell you about the airport. Y'know those airport announcements that tell you to be sure to report any abandoned luggage? Well here's what happens when you do. There was a woman....a young arabic woman sitting in the gate, with what we assumed to be her suitcase. She got up, put on her coat and left...for a long time. Like at least an hour, when finally a woman sitting nearby said `'we should report that" got up and went and told an airport cop about it. Time passed. Lots of time. Finally, a man sitting to our left decided to try again and spoke to the airline personnel at the desk. "They'll take care of it" says man to our left. But nothing happened. Nothing happened for a long time. We're coming up to about 2 hours by now...and Man To Our Left has asked another guard and is getting pretty bitchy. Oh, one cop came by and yelled "anybody own this case?" and went away when no one answered...hmmm. So, originally complaining woman sees the pilot coming through the gate and rushes over, cuts him off and says "DO YOU HAVE ANY PULL AROUND THIS PLACE?" "Well, yes m'am" he says "I might." She explains, he makes one phone call and a cop appears. "ANYONE OWN THIS BAG" he yells. Silence. So what does he do? HE LEANS OVER, UNZIPS THE BAG AND TOSSES THE CONTENTS AROUND WITH HIS HAND. Yep, that's right. Safe flight everybody.
