Dulles International Airport

The colors are coming in.

I enjoyed my final descent into Dulles last yesterday, looking at the nice trees on a Sunday morning.

So maybe, you know, it's that time of year.

Exciting.

So maybe, you know, it's that time of year, exciting.

What are you going to dress up for for Halloween there, B. Mitch?

And that is, and it's based on real world experience.

I have here on our little farm, which is about an hour and a half south of Dulles Airport, the main airport for DC, we've had a number of very senior people in the government come down and basically want to unburden their soul and talk to me and get counseling along the lines of, Should I be a whistleblower? Should I quit? What should I do? I've seen these things.

They bother me a lot.

And then we also have a lot of retirees from the government and the military here.

Now, another thing that has happened, Breeze Airways launched some flights also.

One of them was Washington Dulles International.

That was a nonstop flight.

Unfortunately, that flight has been discontinued.

Uh, the fog might, might actually be giving them zero zero situation there at the, uh, at the airport, the, the Washington Reagan anyway.

Dulles, I'm sure Dulles is open and working, but, um, which would be interesting.

I'm trying to get out of here later this afternoon or early this afternoon, um, in a flight trying to get out of here.

So it may, it may affect things.

Little Town Owned Field.

You want to know the part that still makes me laugh? Officially on paper, this airport existed to be the reliever airport for Dulles, the little one that's supposed to take the overflow when the big airport gets too busy.

Stephen then shook his head.

Now look at us.

So stay tuned for that.

We're also going to be talking in our other big story about the Dulles VIP Terminal, what people are thinking about that.

Is that something we need around here? We're going to discuss.

But before we get to that, Kathy, we have a whole bunch of new nuggets happening in the area that, of course, we want to go through.

But Walter Outgorn says he's objecting to how Flock stores the data and who else might be using the data, pointing out that, you know, with the advent of artificial intelligence, it really raises the stakes, makes it a whole, raises it up to a whole new level in terms of what's possible from a surveillance perspective.

And he's concerned about the county enabling additional surveillance and questioning how the data gets stored and making sure that there is full transparency in a conversation that's happening not only within Fairfax County, but in the region.

So he's trying to bring a larger conversation regionally because as people move in and out of various districts, you know, whether it's the Metro Washington, MWAA for the Metro and for Dulles and Reagan National Airports.

All of these different areas are governed in different ways, and there should be some kind of cohesive understanding of the use of these tools.
