So now all you gotta do is have a loud noise and have Randy Beeman's sister's friend's cousin claim she saw a gun and we evacuate half the airport and have Reed and Malloy muzzle the kitten out of everybody else with their patrol carbines?

Have we lost our collective mind and started shooting at shadows?

These are indeed Heinlein's "Crazy Years".

The standards for just about everything are slipping.

"We did not find anybody there with a gun. In an overabundance of caution, we evacuated terminal 4," Gannon said. "We had great cooperation with our passengers."
(quoted from article)

Seems that upon entering the terminal and NOT seeing folks running and screaming, officers could have cleared the area, all without skinning their roscoes.

I'm assuming by then, my flying car will be finished, and I won't care.

All I know is that if I've already gotten through the eternal lines at security and am waiting to board my plane, they'd better not evacuate the terminal and make me miss my flight for any less than at least three dead bodies.

And I don't mean two stiffs and one expectant, either; I don't want them scrubbing my vacation for a routine double homicide.

Tamara, if this site was a ring, you'd be a gem at the top. I wish for you a long life filled with 20k+ words a year, primarily because a lot of your posts crack me up.
