Can't guarantee it was UA, but Gene Simmons was in the TSA Pre line at IAD tonight.

Tyra Banks, Husband, and Son flew something today out of LAX. They were in the Polaris Lounge for about 30-45 minutes. They seemed very normal and no one bothered them.

Dr. Ruth Westheimer at the LAX United Club this morning. Still traveling at 90! I wonder if she is supporting the documentary about her. She has to be back for an "Ask Dr. Ruth" - Thursday, May 30, 2019 at Sinai Temple, Los Angeles, CA.

That's amazing to me that a guy worth more than $400 million doesn't fly private.

You don't become worth $400MM by pissing away your money.

Who's to say whether flying on United is or is not pissing away your money...

Does that t-shirt he is wearing depict an astronaut on the moon?

Yes, I believe it is this one that says "Finder's Keepers" and if I walked on the moon would wear it every day.

Especially when he's retired and not earning his prior salary

Y'all crack me up. He probably was in Basic Economy, saving those bucks. But I did look up some celebrity wealth lists and was preparing to retort "oh, yeah, who else on the top 100 do you see in airports?" There are a few above and around Dave who have been sighted/cited here, so my surprise was misplaced.

FYI... his contract with Netflix is rumored to be 8 figures. His race team finished 3rd at Indy last weekend. His worth wouldn't suffer consequentially if he flew private.

Thank you for the explanation - initially it looked like Buzz was having a buzz when he fished that outfit out of his closet that morning.

After his giggling and eye-rolling WH performance last year during the roll out of Trump's Galactic Empire Military Force announcement, he will always be my favorite astronaut
