[http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a990820.html](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a990820.html) Is this column concerning the ‘displaced man w/out a home’…the basis for the Tom Hanks movie “The Terminal”? And is this gentleman out of the airport yet?

He’s still there. Sadly, he has big mental health problems, which may or may not be the result of his ‘incarceration’. He’s free to leave the airport at any time, but chooses not to.

I’ve been in Paris Airport for all of 1 1/2 hours. It’s enough to drive anyone insane. I hate airports
