I'm from WA so I had nothing to worry about, although my relatives flew in today from VI. Luckily thier flights weren't changed in any way since so many flghts got delayed/canceled.

Why would you steal games when you could nab something more expensive?

I'll bet there were a huge row of Gamecubes in the store somewhere.

And no, he wouldn't be able to carry an XBox, let alone steal a few. One XBox alone weighs 30 pounds.

My boyfriend lives in N.Y so I sorta know what it was like. But no it's not the job of a hacker. That's what I thought at first but my dad told me that it's impossible because the "back door" was heavily guarded and the system was just old and overloaded from the heat of the day. I swear it's a wonder no one died of heatstroke that day..I just pity the poor people who had to go throught that
