    Today you can buy fruit in the Terminal – just not in the Information Booth!

    That’s right. But you can buy Apples on the balcony overlooking the Information Booth.

    That was one heck of a scam back in the day,believe the Baggage car
    “hoax” was covered by Nat-Geo and PBS shows on TV and DVD.
    This attempt at the Information Booth is a new item to me.
    Wonder if they tried the same scam with the Lower Level Booth
    as well ?
