Last week Edward Snowden got some interesting company in the world of highly publicized airport strandings. Grandma and Grandpa Woodstock’s plight caught people’s attention, albeit in a much different way than Snowden. Here’s the breakdown:
| Given name(s) | Edward Joseph Snowden | Unknown |
| Nicknames | TheTrueHOOHA, Phish | Grandma and Grandpa Woodstock |
| Reason for travels | Running from the Feds | A Rainbow Family gathering |
| Stuck at | Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport | Salt Lake City Airport |
| Duration | 28 days and counting (arrived in Moscow June 23) | “Several hours“ |
| Reason stuck in the airport | Man without a country | Woman without ID. “She forgot where she put it, probably 10 years ago,” said Grandpa Woodstock. |
| Message | “This willingness by powerful states to act extra-legally represents a threat to all of us, and must not be allowed to succeed,” Snowden said. | “All we have to do to have peace and love is learn how to love each other like brothers and sisters,” Grandpa Woodstock said. |
| Final destination | To be determined | Woodstock, New York |
In other airport stranding news, a group of seven travelers has been stranded in Kuala Lumpur International Airport’s transit area for 14 days.
