    It is a countdown clock. Countdown clocks are usually associated with bombs and explosives. There is what appears to be Arabic above this clock. A lot of people associate terrorists and acts or terrorism with Arabic people.

    Now image seeing this thing on a laptop on a plane.

    That's a tad risky....


    True story. Tonight I picked up my wife from the DFW and we come outside of baggage claim to the sound of, basically, gunfire!

    I'm glad I noticed, but had I not noticed, well you know... but I noticed it was the airport security or maintenance, or both, shooting massive amounts of compressed air at the trees to get the birds to leave the area.

    Now, I understand that may be the gentle way of asking the birds to depart, but I am certain some people at the moment, unaware of the dangers of birds getting in the jet engines, almost departed by way of a major coronary event at the excessively explosive combustions coming from those air cannons....

    In other words, man are we jumpy these days.... The terrorists have won.

    I guess?

    We knew what it was within like two seconds, but there were people seriously , visibly shaken by these loud pops... and I can understand why. We're at an airport, with supposedly high security, and we all hear loud gun blasts...

    Is there not just a high frequency emitter that can keep the birds away? I know I've seen them at Disney World and the like... but are airports that insensitive to the sensitivity of mainstream America?

    Seriously, had I never seen this tactic at another place, I wouldn't have been the one calming others down... I may have joined in a little of the "panic."

    No, no one ran around, but people did flinch and duck down...

    Carry on... (fwiw, I'd never log into that screen in a public place).
