Strange Things at the Airport

The following short article was in today’s Idaho State Journal:

BOISE (AP) — A woman who was returning a rented minivan at the Boise Airport drove through the terminal.

A "confused senior citizen," whose name and age were not released, followed an outside "terminal access" sign Tuesday as she bumped the vehicle through a set of automatic-opening double-doors on the west end, airport spokeswoman Larissa Stouffer said.

She drove through the terminal, past the baggage claim area before coming to a stop.

"The lucky thing is she didn’t hit anything," Stouffer said.

There was no damage to the terminal building, no one was hurt and the out-of-town woman, who departed on a flight later Tuesday morning, was not cited.

Stouffer said the airport has had plans to install barriers to block the door.

We shouldn’t chuckle…. Some day that may be me!
