I just have to RANT about the continuous loop safety announcement at Portland International.

Every few minutes over the airport-wide speaker system comes the inane:

"Hi, I'm Doug Fuzzlebunny, chief of stupid announcements for the Port of Portland. If you see any terrorists lurking about leaving large unattended WMDs, please notify law enforcement immediately. Have a nice day and enjoy your stay at the Port of Portland."

Now, just passing through the airport, I don't even notice this announcement and I am sure few others do either. But, for some reason, in the last four years or so I often end up cooling my heels in Portland and I find a quiet corner to get some much needed sleep. Unfortunately, the speakers in those corners seem to be set on extra high and as soon as I start to doze, "Hi..."

I thought they might get rid of them after a bit, but four years later....

Standard fare across the nation???
