First I've ever seen this... 3 loud beeps and they stopped all movement through TSA at Terminal D. The TSA said they have a "security situation" 5 cops have already gone through...
Any of you in the know what might be going on?

Did they yell "Bravo!"?

I'll guess the TSA Weekly Body Count was running a little low this week in the category "terminal dumps and/or similar made up nonevents that impress masses of Kettles".

Must have been a few of those Greeny Aliens supposedly hiding out there
at some supposed research facility people seem to believe known as
"Area 51" aka "Dreamland" trying to quietly sneak off one of the inbound
'Janet flights' for a night out on the town seeing a show and to do some
gambling in the casinos to kill the boredom of the desert heat ... :D


Uh-Huh...:rolleyes:

(Actually the only "aliens" running around in the desert are the GRAY ONES (usually wearing 3 piece Black suits if not in uniform) from the Planet Pentagon ... :D

Amazingly enough, the LVRJ has reported a couple of 6 figure wins on the slots at McCarran lately.

Yeah, I always playable the slots machines at LAS but, I didn't wins the games. Is that restrictions by over age 21 against of Nevada laws, am I correct?

Somebody probably hit 5 sticks of dynamite on one of those slots with a gold-mining theme.

I won $600 on a stopover through LAS once. Missed my flight, but I didn't care. :D HP put me on the next flight out.
