Flight from DC to Atlanta is finishing boarding and now CNN reports of a gun discharged at Atlanta airport which probably means spending hours on the tarmac.
I miss flying.
My flight to Atlanta from dc is taking off now, on time
Have landed. Our gate is occupied so we have to wait for the previous plane to depart. Pilot says 7 to 10mins.
Probably true — we are right here near the gate in the middle of the road instead of parked off toward the edges of the airport.
Off the plane, nearly no delay
I saw a crush of people come of the train, so I suspect still delays on the Domestic side. I’m leaving via the International terminal, which is largely empty.

According to the TSA, the rate of finding guns is 10 per million passenger screenings. With billions of passengers, this of course means thousands of guns get detected each year.
This is at a similar rate of traffic accidents. Each trip in the car has a 7 in a million chance of a traffic accident, so you have roughly the same chance of getting into an accident on the way to the airport has having a gun detected in your bags.
How is it possible to "accidentally" have a gun in your bag? Well, security guards, law enforcement officers, and military personnel often travel with guns. They are supposed to lock them in checked luggage, but may forget and put in carry-on luggage.
This is probably the best example of "you can't argue with stupid". Lindell offered a reward to anybody who could prove his data isn't from the 2020 election, but that's like proving there are no space aliens. You can't prove a negative.
All we can show is that it's junk, with nothing tying Lindell's data to the 2020 election. It looks completely made up. It's not "proof" of anything.
I claim to have absolute proof, that's been verified by independent experts, that space aliens hacked the 2020 elections. I'll give $10 million to anybody who proves me wrong!!!
1/ I fully support the idea that people should question authority. I don't like how when people have questions about covid vaccines, they are told to shut up and comply with authority rather than getting answers.
So I'm going to attempt to answer this question:
2/ Yes, yes, it doesn't look like a reasonable question (not even a ? question-mark). It looks like combative statements and snark from a conspiracy theorist who has all the answers. Maybe. But this is also what real questions look like. Questioning authority means debate.
3/ The statements it makes are false. The 'myocarditis' effect is rare, around 1 in a million. It's just that with millions of doses being given, exceedingly rare events become measurable.
"Sidejacking" was a variant of cookie hijacking, grabbing them by sniffing the network instead of by tricks within a webpage. Back then, websites would protect your login with SSL, but the rest of the session would not use SSL, and cookies would be sent in the clear.
It meant I could walk by any Starbucks with public WiFi and instantly access their Gmail, Yahoo Mail, or other webmail sessions. Or any active website connection, really.
Also, worked well with corporate WEP encrypted networks before WPA2.
1/ It's weird how much this Rachel Maddow episode repeats Mike Lindell almost verbatim. Both assure us that data showing a conspiracy has been validated by cyberexperts, and that no credible expert has refuted it.
I'm a credible expert, and I refute both.
2/ There is no "Trump server". The Trump org had no control over the domain, and barring some vast convoluted theory probably involving space aliens, no control over the "server" that the domain pointed to.
3/ The domain was created by Cendyn, a hotel marketing company. Among their marketing activities is sending bulk emails, which they outsource to a company called Listrak.
