Matt and Debbie’s plane left left at 5:27 PM.<\/p>\n

The Movie<\/a> version. (13MB QT)<\/p>\n

Youtube<\/a> version is quite clear.<\/p>\n

I shot much more video of Matt and Debbie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s personal wander through security than I displayed in the movie, but finally they vanished from sight. Which was sad but also good because I really had to use the nearby bathroom. As I hurried across the tile floor my cell phone rang. I could see it was Debbie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s number.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yes?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Did they get you dad?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Matt asked.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Did who get me?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153The cops. I heard them say \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcSecurity risk, man with a video cam.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 They meant you.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Awesome.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153What do you mean awesome?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know what I mean, but no, they didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get me. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m here hiding in the bathroom.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

The trip to and through Logan was otherwise uneventful. Matthew is an efficient machine which is why long ago I decided the best course was to plant a hand on his shoulder and let him lead the way. The only hiccough occurred when Debbie tried to pass her cargo bag off as carry-on luggage. The ticket agent looked sympathetically as Debbie tried to squeeze it into what resembled a tot\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s grocery shopping cart – the device used to gauge the size of your bag. It almost fit and would have had she sat on it, but it turned out for the better because it was checked right on through to Venice which would expedite their connecting-plane dash in Paris.<\/p>\n
