Sunday

It was a social media post made by the airport that went viral, and then people being people decided to become outraged. I'd Google it for more info. They were allegedly try to spark conversation about travle etiquette, including wearing pajamas into airports and the like.

"Free the Crocs!"

I guess they succeeded?
