Airport wierdoes

Last week, a close friend of mine was working immigration(at the airport- where you process incomming passengers from an inbound flight) when suddenly there was a commotion.

"I AM MRS. AL GORE. I need to GET TO WASHINGTON D.C. TO VISIT my HUSBAND" said a heavily accented female voice.

The immigration worker wasn't getting no where with her so he screams towards my friend "(AIRLINE NAME)! CAN YOU HELP ME..."

So my friend looks at her passport, name reads "Nobuko Sakamoto". He asks this lady in Japanese "Is your name Mrs. Sakamoto...?"

"NO, I AM MRS. AL GORE"

My friend got flack from these goverment workers.

"(AIRLINE NAME) needs to screen crazy people"
"crazy people shouldn't be permitted to buy tickets..."

and my friend replied

"WELL ISN'T THAT YOUR JOB????"

While in goverment custody she managed to roam around free for a few days and eventually ended up in the State's funny farm.

(Interestingly, Al Gore was in town a few days ago)

Today, at the cost of (ANONYMOUS AIRLINES), she is going home, escorted by my friend who found out this lady is very wealthy.


(ANONYMOUS Airlines) is paying my friend "special assignment pay" so this is interesting...

I thought it was funny envisioning this 4'11 Japanese lady screaming "I am AL GORE's WIFE!"
