They cut the last 30 minutes of the movie!! They ended the movie when james Bond's girlfriend died. But missed the part where he basically became James Bond, tracked down his girlfriend's killer/boss and said his famous "Bond, James Bond". I looked up and said...wait a minute...thats not how the movie ends!! People around me had no idea because they were seeing the film for the first time. Boo United. At least show the ending of the movie! Sure, except that this past week they were showing Casino Royale 007 on United from BOS to SFO. They cut the last 30 minutes of the movie!!

The bad news is it may take until the end of the year to get all the world's policies in synch on the carriage of duty-free booze. But I'll take your good advice on my trip to Canada next month. We're just about out of Bombay Sapphire Gin and Grand Marinier... I was weeping at my desk with you when I read this, Mark. the good news is that ICAO knows that this is a world-wide problem.
