Here they close the secure areas between about 1 and about
4. Silliness. Sleepy travelers aren't going to cause trouble
between 1 and 4 and are certainly not vagrants. Okay, I am,
but I'm that exception.

I think that the hotel industry probably has a dirty paw in
the formation of policies such as this. And it works, as I
am Hilton Diamond.

True. And our fascination with it (as something arbitrary
and excitingly unpredictable, like gambling) has fueled a
whole industry. Meteorology is not just for nerds any more.

There should be, or at least a substitute. Sort of muffin
pans, batter not included.
