Honestly on this one I'm not sure I should post my real thoughts on it. Maybe I'm just paranoid this afternoon.
As a non-American citizen who would like to travel and explore your country further your country's thought police tactics give me pause.

No idea. I don't use a NY ID.

You guys got lucky to avoid that attack.

At least ten dead.

Up to three bombings and 28 dead, 60 injured at Ataturk. And @Jaguar is trapped in Amsterdam having JUST missed being at Ataturk for this. He was trying to get an earlier flight and could not get one and would have been there. But now he is stuck in Amsterdam unable to get back home.

Suppose there's occasions to be glad you missed a flight. Worse places to be suck too all things considered.

He didn't bring his laptop with him, which really sucks now.

This would be my very last problem in such a case. Better celebrate an additional birthday per year.

Not having his laptop meant that he couldn't rent a long term place and work from Europe, so not getting back home means he was burning his vacation / holiday time stuck in a hotel sitting by the phone waiting to hear if they got him a flight. If he had had his laptop, he could have used the time as work time and it would not have been too costly of a problem.
He got lucky, some Dutch friends managed to get him a flight back to Atlanta. he should be there tonight.
