And a guy went through Immigration yelling "I'm going to Hawaii" , jumped on the conveyor belt in the scanning area and got esorted away by police -not in the direction of Hawaii
Family in front of me then had an argument with the Immigration guy insisting it wasan infringement of their human rights to have to fill in Departing Pax cards. Their teenage daughter had done a card so he sent her though but wouldn't let the parents go! WTF? the kid was about 12 and he sent her through to airside on her own, wouldn't let her wait!

I just looove airports!

Woman now wants husband to talk to the pilot about whether the wind from the quake is too strong to fly in
