At least I learned “tannoy”, a new word for me.

Much like one hoovers the floor, they’re one of the oldest speaker companies going, and their brand has become a generic word. They make lots of audio gear, from public address systems to ridiculously expensive high end audio speakers.

She was annoyed at the gentleman’s tan? Wouldn’t that be going off on a tan gent?

I just have to wonder: was this guy on some kind of weird list? or did he actually do something that caused the flight attendant to have legitimate suspicion? She probably was just being a stupid, Islamophobic bigot. But I can’t help but wonder if there was something that happened to explain this. Open-mindedness demands no less.

What legitimate purpose is served by announcing over the intercom to all passengers that a passenger in a specifically-named seat is being watched? How does that help fight terrorism?

They finally released a pic of the passenger they were monitoring. I think it’s pretty clear why they were concerned. I’d be, too!
