Airport Indiscretions ...

.... No, this is not a post about the esteemed Senator from Idaho, Larry Craig!

I am constantly amazed by the conversations that I overhear at airport lounges - People seem to be carried away by the aura of anonymity that airports in specific and travel in general provides and often reveal what I would consider extremely confidential information while speaking on the phone.

I have heard salespeople talking about margins they are making off specific clients, I have heard executives discussing the case of a colleague who they believed was sexually harassing a subordinate and any number of other sensitive information.

What if your competition was sitting in the next lounger in the airport?
