there is a lot of news that happens at an airport, that would make a great tv show, and about 20 years ago the Discovery, or Learning Channel (TLC) had one. Since then, it's rare to hear news from airports.

 Like the interception by customs, of the things people are trying to smuggle to buyers and collectors. 

Between 2020 and 2021, the US government seized 13 ancient Egyptian artifacts at JFK airport, including a 5,200-year-old vase, according to a legal documents filed earlier this month.

  2. some BBC channel had a show called "Airport Animals" that was about all the animals that pass through Heathrow in London. I thought it was a fascinating show.
