Security, and ride home from airport
Nov. 13th, 2004 01:52 pmThe airline selected me for special screening. I had to take my shoes off, get wanded and patted down, and they went through my things. Sadly, I had no sex toys this time to scandalize them. :(
I can't help but wonder how they chose me. Was it because I bought through priceline? That my given name is often an islamic name? Or is there some list out there of progressives who Could Be Terrorists that I've somehow made it onto? Or was it random?
My flight comes in Monday evening around 9:30 p.m. Anyone feel a burning desire to pick me up from the airport?
This place is weird. Yet cool. Yet weird. The architecture is neat but not.
Being around MIT folks again is also weird. Especially since a large number of the folks here are people who I never knew very well. But. I'm having fun.
The birthday girl tried to lose $2 in the Casino and won $50. I think she has since lost $20 of it, but that's still amusing.
The suite we're in is HUGE. We've got ~15 people, with three toilets, two showers, four sinks... two queen sized beds, three full-sized couches, several almost-full sized couches (bigger than love seats). For Friday and Saturday the hotel room is going to come to less than $100 each.
