How is this for an emergency blip?

Our flight to Paris took longer because we had to divert to avoid hostilities. 

In the Before Times I flew into New York and was offended by how disrespectful, contemptuous, terrible the customs woman was to foreigners. 

Now, in Paris, I got to experience the belief that yelling the same words at ever increasing volumes would increase comprehension or compliance.

But enough people were helpful that I am on the plane. 

I even managed to get TSA flight number added to my ticket so once I land I should make it home w/o falling over. 

Plus, I have sleeping pills, so I’m going to try to sleep on the plane, at least a little.
