What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe Argus says Gatwick Airport has put new passport rules in place for all passengers, so check your documents before you start that long walk to the gate.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorUnnecessary roughness on the check-in desk, and I'm throwing a flag at the whole terminal.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistPassports for people, fine, but New York is fifty-five and cloudy with a six percent chance of rain, and nobody's checking that sky's papers!

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSix percent, Brock?

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistChicago is fifty-nine and partly cloudy, heading for seventy-seven with twenty-three percent rain, which is a forged visa if you ask me.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistLos Angeles is sixty-three and cloudy, then seventy-five and dry. Zero percent rain means it has nothing to declare, and that is the suspicious part.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy Commute Rage rating is six honks out of ten, because the line might move, and Brock is furious about that.
