1. Obviously these great decision makers should have powerful and plentiful weapons.

2. You know, it's ridiculous that people can't leave unattended vehicles anywhere
without getting some sort of chastisement for doing so. Not everyone is hyper aware of what day it is and really have more important things to think about.

3. I guess it would depend for how long it was there. The terminal curb is not a parking lot. nt

5. Doesn't matter what day it is, it's an airport. These aren't average civilians either
I don't watch the show but I've caught a few seconds here and these guys build/have some serious weaponry. People who can pull off tactical assaults with the contents of their bedrooms closets should be held to a higher slandered.

4. You can't leave an unattended vehicle at the curb at the Syracuse
airport at any time on any day. At Buffalo - you can stop to load or unload, but no standings and absolutely no parking. WTH is wrong with these guys. they get special treatment because they work for TV?

7. It was very difficult to rent a truck this weekend.
Nearly impossible. The rental companies shut it down.

11. I am a musician. Had a gig in Frankenmuth, MI
on Sat. with the Contours. Our guy tried to rent a small truck to bring stage gear. The rental place he has been going to for years kept blowing him off, saying nothing was available. He called 6 or 7 other places, same thing. I know, he waited until the last minute, I'm thinking everyone does their moving on the weekends, it's always hard to find a truck. He got suspicious when someone let it slip that they "were not renting trucks this weekend". He finally walked into the place where he usually does business and asked to see the manager. They told him they were told not to rent trucks this weekend and that 8 or 9 rental trucks had been stolen in Missouri on the same day, but they had recovered them all. I have seen nothing in the news about this. Anyway, he finally talked them into renting him a truck, and we made an effort to see if other rental trucks were on the road. We saw 2 or 3 on the road that day.

9. How STUPID on the part of the TV network
anyone with a brain in their head should know you can't park like that at the airport. Geesh what do they think this is early 2001?!?! :eyes:
