go air side of things. this is an outrage. this is what they did to the pan am girls. you can t see the pilots. i like saw samoan. i like the policy of weighing the passengers. i know that may not go down well with passengers, so the revolutionary concept just charged for luggage. they are doing the flight attendants before they do the passengers so they don t look hipocritical. they are hipocrites because they will have fat pilots. they should have skinny, women pilots. wouldn t you want an excellent fat pilot than a skinny and not great pilot. you don t what a skinny girl trying to open the doors and rescue you. you don t like skinny people. they are talking about how
with the diplomatic number plates and so forth, even the ambassador s own car was there. we understand that he s been airside at the airport in the transit area dealing with snowden directly himself. so yes. we understand that he s spending the night in the transit area of moscow s airport. with the hope of catching a connecting flight out of moscow tomorrow. it s not likely to be a direct flight to ecuador because there aren t any. speculation and it is just speculation, we can t con did i remember it. probably taking a flight to cuba and then from there, one or more connecting flights to get him to ecuador. fredericka? thanks so much, phil black. appreciate that. washington likely pretty aggravated with moscow and hong kong for enabling snowden to escape from their clutches. dan lothian joining me now. what options does the u.s. have? reporter: well, the main option is that they hope that
