I was taking a shower about 30 minutes ago (9 am, my time) when air raid sirens went off. Then I received an SMS from the Army telling us to be prepared to enter shelters.
I turned on my television and heard that Israel had attacked an Iranian military installation in Syria which was too close to the Israeli border (about 30 miles from my house). One Israeli jet was shot down (but no Israeli was killed). A short while later I received another SMS saying that the alert has been canceled but that we should remain "ready".

Probably a federal air marshal was assigned to one of your seats.
Call again and request the change. If you are unsuccessful, hang up and call again.
You may also want to try contacting Delta Air Lines on its Twitter account.
Good luck to you, JetstreamJ; and please report back.

Morning kipper! (auto-correct changed to killer...)
sounds like a good breakfast. Anything exciting going on anywhere today?
