As many of you may have figured out I'm working this summer at Disneyland between consulting gigs. I picked Parking and Trams, because, it's outside, get some exercise although mostly walking and not near as freaking repititive as most other jobs.
Anyhow I'm on the back of a tram yesterday and there are three obvious arabic/middle=eastern young men get on in the row a few rows ahead of me. (Appearance, accent, conversation, Allah Ahckbar necklace, etc) Hardly anybody else, middle of a very hot and humid afternoon, so we joke a bit as we got out to the lot.
they get off and as we come back to the main plaza, I see it. Cellphone on the "forgotten" on the seat. "Aw shit" rewind memory, yes I had seen them using it, well that's good. CAll the lead and driver back "look" Yeah, what about it" "Left by 3 young Moslem men," "Yeah, so" "9/11" jaws drop. "I think it's ok, they were talking on it." so I picked it up gave it to the lead, "Tag your it", you can take it to Lost and Found, the "bin" or call Security, I don't think it will explode if you put it down but you can never tell." I got one of those looks I usually get from Ma Danby. Turned out to be a cell phone.
My leads aren't sure what to make of me, I point out all the covert security precautions and what they guard against. And how to tell when the level goes up. We were a few notches up yesterday. I congratulated a few guys that just graduated from MCRD"How could you tell?" I can tell
