THIRTY-MINUTE RULE? FIRST I’VE HEARD OF IT {this isn't bad its very funny actually}

If you happen to be on a flight to Reagan National Airport you can be sure of two things:

1) There will be an air marshal on board.

2) You had better sit in your seat and not move a muscle during the last thirty minutes of the flight.

Some poor sap – a government lawyer – decided that his need to take a whiz trumped the instructions given by the flight attendants (“We are now 30 minutes from landing. Do not get out of your seats during the duration of the flight.”) Our government lawyer, with 15 minutes to go, gets up and walks hurriedly toward the bathroom – the one in the front of the plane – next to the cockpit. Suddenly two air marshals jump up and yell for him to stop. One has his gun drawn. The wrestle him to the ground and order the plane diverted to Dulles. The attorney, realizing that rules actually meant rules, was yelling “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”

Federal charges against the attorney were later dismissed. Local charges may be brought, though. A search turned up some marijuana.

Oops.

For those that do not know, Reagan Airport is just across the river from the largest cluster of government buildings. The reason for such stringent security is that a plane could go from normal take off/landing procedure to plowing into a federal building in less than a minute. There was alot of talk about closing the airport after Sept. 11, but it remains a popular route in/out of DC for Congressman and other Gov. workers. Dulles, on the other hand, is outside of DC proper.

If anyone has been to Reagan, it is a nice area. Would make a fantastic park if they close the airport.
