just heard the most american airport announcement ever:

“we are now boarding to paris, a reminder that this destination is international, meaning outside of the united states”

[c_dan4th@mstdn.social]

@SecureOwl While changing planes in Oklahoma City:
"Reminder to passengers arriving from Houston flight XXX that checked firearms will be available on baggage claim 4. Other luggage will be arriving on baggage claim 3."

[secureowl@infosec.exchange]

@c_dan4th ok that wins

[willyecoyote69@mstdn.social]

@SecureOwl Aah, not Paris, Texas. ;)

[cliffb_infosec@mastodon.social]

@SecureOwl Paris, TX, is a place.

[rpaulo@infosec.exchange]

@SecureOwl first time I heard that nonsense it was on a flight to Mexico but that takes the cake

[loke@functional.cafe]

@SecureOwl the more I think about this the less sense it makes.

Do people not know what international means? Do people buy a ticket to France without knowing where it is? Did the passport check not tip them off?

For whom was that message directed?

[secureowl@infosec.exchange]

@loke right? this was the gate agent to the people about to start boarding the flight.

how could they have gotten to that point without being aware they were about to leave the country via a transatlantic flight i do not know

@WillyECoyote69 @SecureOwl

I like the explanation that "international" means the destination is not in the States.

Regardless of which Paris they meant, this clarification is the funny part.

[jerojasro@col.social]

@cliffb_infosec @SecureOwl well yes, but the explanation for "international"...

[benjamincox@writing.exchange]

@SecureOwl “A gentle reminder to all passengers that international Paris is full of French people who don’t (or won’t) speak English.”

[frawst@fedi.fraw.st]

@SecureOwl@infosec.exchange "warning: you are entering an un-united state"

[madengineering@mastodon.cloud]

@loke @SecureOwl Yeah, a lot of people do not understand the idea. They think new Mexico and Hawaii are outside the United States, but then expect American law to apply in France, which it does not.

That there is a Paris in Texas does not help.

[secureowl@infosec.exchange]

just a note that yes, i know there is a Paris, TX, however, somewhat crucially, there is no commercial airport there.

[gueuledatmosphere@mastodon.green]

@SecureOwl
A gentle reminder that there is no opera house in Sydney, Nova Scotia

@madengineering @loke @SecureOwl

Hawai'i is an occupied colony of the Untied Snakes.

@SecureOwl@infosec.exchange OMFG .. waiting for the orange idiot to demand to draw north america bigger on maps and globes.

Don't you be diss'n Cox Field. 🛩️

@SecureOwl 😜

[paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange]

@SecureOwl

LMAO

that is indeed a perfect encapsulation.

i actually heard a florida couple explaining why they didn't want to go to europe.

"well, we like to travel but we really wouldn't like to deal with all those foreigners everywhere and all that strange food"

SMDH...
