An update to the "Airport" movie here in the archive. No time to go to the original and meticulously compare them, but I'm sure with new technologies and ways to shuffle them around, this film highlighted them. Still no sign of airport secuirity. But lots of men smoking pipes! This film also has a fun ride through a baggage conveyor.
