Passenger Eats Cole Slaw From A Gallon Ziploc Bag With Her Hands At An Airport Gate [Roundup]

News and notes from around the interweb:

  • Wildest things people have seen at the airport “A woman eating cole slaw from a gallon Ziploc bag with her hands.” And..

    I worked security at an airport, and had a few different people claim they were Jesus and try to board a flight. When asked for ID, they presented the Bible. Had one threaten to kill me, and he was arrested. Not very Jesus-like.

  • In fairness, that’s pretty minor for American’s bag handling which is one of the reasons they’re overhauling and padding schedules at DFW airport.
  • I wouldn’t nap there.

  • Clean. Your. Planes.
  • Frequent flyer argues that months-long delay in processing his United status via earning Bonvoy Titanium meant he had to pay checked bag fees, which is essentially a bag delay, making him entitled to over $6,000 in Montreal Convention compensation. Okey dokey, good luck with that.
  • Lufthansa turns 100 next year and will be celebrating its past but will that include circumventing the Treaty of Versailles to re-arm the Nazis for World War II?

    To distance itself from its Nazi past they simultaneously claim to have been founded in 1926 (100th anniversary next year) and also “the legal foundation of today’s Lufthansa was laid in 1953” so everything before that doesn’t count. And Lufthansa’s largest shareholder?

    Kühne + Nagel was co-founded by his grandfather August Kühne in 1890 and was run by the family and a Jewish partner Adolf Maass until 1933. That is when August’s sons, both Nazi party members, took control. Holocaust researchers point out that Kühne + Nagel had a virtual monopoly on the transportation of looted Jewish property, primarily furniture and artworks, from which it profited significantly during the Holocaust. Maass was murdered at Auschwitz in 1944.

    Klaus-Michael Kühne does not like to discuss these matters. “For me, that chapter is closed, and I’m not going to reopen it,” he told Der Spiegel magazine in March 2025.

  • I find it such an interesting gamble when passengers shove bags into overhead bins that don’t fit, won’t let the bin close, and just walk away. Maybe they make it someone else’s problem, they find a way to rearrange things and get it into a bin. But maybe it gets pulled out and gate checked, best case you know that this is happening. And yet I see this all the time:

    I guess they just gave up
