My flight to #EWR landed 25 min late. I only had 50 minutes to begin with and needed to change terminals. It was a bit of a jog through Newark.

They made an announcement asking folks to sit and let those of us with tight connections to get off first. About 200 people did that. I guess the farther you get from the White House and Calitol, the closer you get to generally decent people.

Next stop: Edinburgh for #Securitay
