Fwiw, I had the misfortune about 2 yrs ago to take a plane that Colin Powell was also on. When we were waiting for boarding, I saw him rushed through with a bunch of official-looking people, some from the airline, some from some federal law enforcement agency. If I'd been assuming such, it could look like he was being arrested/detained, rather than protected (which was clearly what was really happening.)

It ended up being ridiculous, because we had to take a bus across the tarmac, and he was there with us without visible security (I know because he did a gentlemanly "after you" to let me exit before him, and my stomach curdled.)

When he boarded the plane, he was again hurried away by officials to whatever place is more exclusive than the BA sleeping pods.

Just writing as an fyi that what could be interpreted as something relevant is likely to just be regular airport security for bigshots. Schiff may not be a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but all his aides would have to say is that he's chairman of the intel committee, and he's received threats, and the relevant authorities would fall over themselves to make sure the fucker was safe.

Very, very concise points.

Occam's Razor agrees this is the likely situation.

Can you imagine how many people would walk up to him and knock his bitch ass out cold if he was there by himself?

That's a big, tempting target.

Pro tip: aim for one of the bug eyes to see if you can get it to pop.

Occam's Razor also concludes that Adam Schiff is a pedo commie.

Used to do VIP arrivals as airline station management. Big shots and special celebrities (A+ list) generally get security and special access from the door of the plane to departure from the property, and vice versa.

You’d be surprised to know that at one airline I used to work for, South Bend Indiana had more yearly VIP arrivals than many much bigger cities, like Cleveland, for instance.

I'm a couple hours away but have been to see the Irish a few times...Notre Dame stadium is unbelievable during games and it broke my heart not seeing it at full capacity this year

Makes sense. Notre Dame is in South Bend. There isn't shit in Cleveland.

How very odd that South Bend had that many VIP arrivals. Do you know why? I didn't know anything about it before Bootyjudge ran, but it didn't seem to me to be an elite destination like Aspen or Nice or something?

This sounds about right. LAX does it for a lot of VIPs
