I bet many news media members are surplus from the acting realm. This field reporter tried so hard to rile up... "If the flights are canceled, what would you do? WOULD YOU SCREAM? MAKE A SCENE? FIGHT SECURITY?"

"Well... we got a 9 hours layover in Houston... so... "

Only the dumbest of IT Depts allow outside vendors to manage their updates. Next time, hire better nerds.
