Resolved Question: Do pizza hut workers recommend you visit LaGuardia Airport in New York City?

Every day we read about the attacks in Iraq, the attacks in Afghanistan (Yes, there is still a war going on there) and various other events that are show purposefully to vilify and demoralize our brave men and women in our armed forces, intelligence services and other such organzations. So today, we are going to break from the misery and focus on a few recent events that one can chalk up as victories in the Western Civilization column.

Since these almost never get equal time, here they are:

First (This is the sort of civic action I like to see):

Passengers subdue man on Delta flight to Florida Fri Jul 7, 2006 TAMPA, Florida (Reuters) - A man who tried to force his way into the cockpit of a Tampa-bound Delta Air Lines jet was undergoing mental evaluation on Friday, Tampa International Airport officials said.
Passengers said the man ran up the aisle toward the cockpit door just before the flight from New York's LaGuardia Airport was about to land in Tampa on Thursday night. U.S. authorities thwarted a plot to attack New York's mass transit system later this year, leading to the arrest of a plotter who confessed in Lebanon, U.S. and Lebanese officials said on Friday.

Do people still want to argue that a military presence (right or wrong in conception) in the Middle East is not helping our cause to disrupt terror activities? I'm sensitive to the fact that there are various concepts of what "terror" actually is, but as I have said before, I am more than willing to pick a side than waffle on the fence for the rest of my life.

Lebanese sources previously had confirmed the arrest of Asem Hammoud, also identified as Amir al-Andalousi, "who is a suspect in a plot to bomb a tunnel in New York," a Lebanese government source in Beirut told Reuters.

Lebanon's Interior Ministry said the plan targeted tunnels under the Hudson River, which separates Manhattan from New Jersey.

Resolved Question: Is there a shuttle or car service I can use to get from Astoria to LaGuardia Airport?


I am in Astoria (Queens) and I am trying to find a shuttle or car service that will take me to LaGuardia Airport (also in Queens). I am near the airport, but I do not want to take the subway to the bus because i need to get there at 4:30 in the morning. There are not a lot of cabs on the street where I live, so I can't hail a cab like I would in Manhattan. Does anyone know of a car/shuttle i can use that is not ridiculously expensive?? the Blue Van/Super Shuttle only picks you up in Manhattan, I believe. This was what I always used and I was disappointed to find out they don't serve Queens. To the poster that lived in Astoria, is there a service you used that you could recommend? i looked in the phone book/yellow pages but i dont know what is legit or reputable. I want to use one that someone else has used before. i am traveling at 4:30 in the morning, so I have safety concerns.

I have a flight tomorrow that gets into Laguardia airport in NY on US Airways, I then need to transfer to a different flight by United.

Also, I believe my checked baggage will be transfered automatically but i'm not 100% sure. Does anyone know?
