Reminds me of the time my family was flying to my niece's wedding in DC. We went through Raleigh/Durham. This was in early 2002, and security approaching DC was pretty tight. The FA announced that for the final 30 minutes, no one was allowed out of their seat. As we approached DC, the FA made another announcement that from that point on, if anyone got out of their seat the flight would not land at National, but would divert to Dulles.

As the last words were leaving her lips, a well dressed man stands up, opens the overhead compartment, retrieves something and sits down again.

The look of dismay on her face was priceless! More than one person near me was shaking their head.

We landed at National.
