You've given me an idea for a short film.  Imagine a grey alien trying to get through TSA. 😄  Coming soon to Omeleto.

"Why, no, we don't do profiling.  Why do you ask, man-with-a-beard-travelling-alone?"  (No, I didn't actually ask this question.  I just let them search my carry-on bag.  I was able to make my flight.)

You're both right.  But what our grandparents worried about was school kids chewing gum and running in the hallways.  We worry about much worse things.  And that's just the schools.

Our grandparent's grandparents worried about young people "seeking diversion".  This was the worst thing they could possibly imagine.

Somehow we got past all that.  And we got computers, the Internet, and flight sims.  We got space travel, landed on the moon and brought back rock samples.  We've sent probes all over the solar system.  We've got a space telescope that can see almost as far back as the Big Bang.  Chewing gum and running in the hallways didn't end Civilization As We Know It.

In some ways the future has never been brighter.  And we've got problems that have never been... scarier, for lack of a better word.  It is better, I think, to look on the bright side, and hope our current problems can be fixed.

“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”

Oh my goodness! Children crossing their legs? How bohemian of them!

And they probably do it while gobbling up dainties at the table.

For anyone who still cares, I think we have the explanation of what happened.  "The guy in the green hoodie" posted on TicToc shortly after it happened just after the flight was finally over.  I just saw the video tonight.

Hoodie Guy has extensive facial tattooing, and had both hands almost completely tattooed including Freemason symbology and was wearing symbolic rings.  Not Real Lady had been drinking according to him, although it had to be before she boarded the flight as they hadn't taken off yet, so no beverage service.  She was quite upset at the Freemason symbology and started ragging on the guy about how Freemasons were satanic, and after he raised his hood and started ignoring her she got more and more animated.  "You know they worship Lucifer at the top ranks?"  He looked her in the eye and replied, "I AM Lucifer."  This is when she started going up and down the aisle and basically going crazy.  The video only captured a small part of what she said.

So, she saw something disturbing, gave the guy a hard time, he responded and freaked her out.  Might be true, might not, but is the most believable video I've seen about the incident.

The other pictures of a guy in a green hoodie were from a different aircraft, the bins opened the wrong way.

This has been a public service announcement.  We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
