@iah terminal C baggage claim is such hidden treasure! It’s an adventure every time! Nothing like getting back to Houston after a long day of travel and getting to deal with the slowest, incompetent people who couldn’t care less about doing a good job. Thanks! Been standing at baggage claim for over 30 minutes and the bags slowly arrive one by one. Then bags randomly arrive on different carousel. Doesn’t make any sense. And, this has happened multiple times. @united should demand this get fixed.

@iah Terminal C baggage claim is an awful experience. Waiting 40+ minutes for bags to arrive is a bit absurd. I travel through many larger and busier airports where baggage claim operates more smoothly. This has served as a great reminder why not to check bags.

@HoustonChron Trash / litter everywhere. And homeless ignoring state anti camping laws with no enforcement from local officials.

And, herein lies the issue with popular Chinese apps, including Tiktok. Can you trust that everything is above-board from a security perspective or are those apps actually being used spy? https://t.co/zfIOPLJZHO

@DanPriceSeattle People in this thread understand nothing about how the oil industry works. Brutal to read.

@moni_alvarado8 No pic? 😁

@AndrewAbraham24 @ERCOT_ISO That’s not true. I live in an affluent part of Houston and have no power. Stop the hate mongering.

#Cyber criminals are attacking hospitals during the #COVID-19 crisis. Hospitals are especially vulnerable to ransomware attacks because they cannot afford any downtime at the moment and many still use outdated technology. https://t.co/UemkLUV8Mr via @WSJ

Tracking coronavirus patients and their contacts using cellphone data. Drones monitoring public spaces for quarantine scofflaws. How much public-health surveillance is too much? https://t.co/4qc3XyU9QS via @WSJ

As if small business owners need something else to worry about right now: The SBA site to apply for disaster loans was compromised. If you applied for an SBA disaster loan you need to monitor your credit ASAP https://t.co/m2iQ73xguo via @navSMB #dataprivacy #cybersecurity
