    I find that there is nowhere like air travel which such a high concentration of potential clients. It's a captive audience.

    I once met a guy at baggage reclaim handing out cards at baggage reclaim in Munich airport. He had an MPEG4 business. I had no idea what the hell he was talking about, but admired his productive use of dead time at baggage reclaim. 2 Years later i was running a project that need an MPEG4 codec, I gave him a call.

    He taught me an important lesson. Quick mental calculation tells me I have made over 400K directly through people I met in airline lounges and on planes.

      Possible? Yes, probable? Nope. Bullshit detector is going off wildly at your tale.

      This piece of fiction just confirms the original perception that clearedforlanding is straight out of the sock drawer.
