There's quite a few airports around the world where you'll run into this sort of scam. In Guadalajara, I've had to pay a "fee" to board a flight that I already had a seat on. In Bangalore I had to pay another fee so that my luggage would not go missing or be damaged.

I didn't get that feeling from the article at all. My brother actually has multiple myeloma as well; he's checked every 3 months to see if the blood levels have spiked and a skeletal survey is done every 6 months.

That's a pretty steep management fee.

I always assumed it was Matt Maroon punking us.
