Personal Tent For Airports
The MiniMotel is a tent built for camping out in an airport. I think the manufacturers should hire Mehran Karimi Nasseri as the spokesman. Joel has more on this brilliantly impractical product over at BB Gadgets. MiniMotel makes airport campouts possible, still awkward

The TSA goons would love to find you planning your terrist plans while hiding inside one of those.
If anybody tries this, let us know how it goes when you get out of prison.
Ha! It is to dream! I'm a veteran sleeper-in-airports, and while it varies from place to place the extreme hassle I've had putting down a roll-mat and sleeping bag makes me extremely dubious about the type of night's sleep I'd have if I put up a tent in the concourse... I once watched Security deliberately wake a family with two very small children every hour on the hour over the course of a long night, and they were just sleeping on their coats.
Airport security personnel are like people on the internet. There's always a portion of the population willing to be assholes when they know there's zero chance of retaliation.
That guy probably had to go change his underwear once an hour too.
All the more reason to allow concealed firearms if you ask me. Everywhere.
There is a website that rates airports on their sleepover friendliness, and suggest the best spots for a full night's sleep. I have contributed suggestions for one of the Frankfurt airports, SFO, and a bunch of Latin American Airports.
I will not post the url, I want to keep it for myself.
I would feel weird using this tent at an airport, and it may attract too much attention. But this would be great for my office. We do all-nighters all the time, and if one misses the last buss, SOL. I find it really hard to get a good rest, being afraid my coworkers will walk in and find me drooling on the couch, with crusty eyes.
I will try to get one.
I think an automated coffin hotel would do pretty good business in certain airports. This however, is a big fail.
What does that have to do with firearms? If you threaten the security guard, you go to jail.
I might be living in one of these, full time, very shortly.
Another way to sell these to college kids or to some of my 30s peers.
Ever fear that when you pass out after a day of binge drinking that you might end up as a prank on YouTube?
Now, you can get protection.
there is so much beauty in so much sadness. this makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time. this is everything that is wrong with modern times, yet is also quite practical and rustic. how many of us want to sleep under our desks, much less at the airport?
i almost feel like buying one to camp out on the white house lawn.
Expand the size just a little and make it of durable material and you have a company making real goods that will be a very good investment for the new economy emergent as of today.
Carry it with you so that you still have shelter for when your car you've been living out of for the last two months gets towed because you cannot afford the gasoline to move it. Your children will be able to live the life of luxury, having a carriable private room for each and every one of them. Might want to make a double bed size for the husband and wife.
Be prepared, buy one for each member of the family. When the bank forecloses, just move down the street in Outer Vulgaria to camp out on the lawn of an eternally "For Sale" McMansion near you!
The time has come to emulate that great apostle to the nations, Saint Paul and learn how to make tents. ;^) Fly your Hoover Flags proudly and learn to enjoy the delicacy of Hoover Hogs.
Mehran Karimi Nasseri I remember seeing in CDG.
Very sad situation.
But hey Speilgerg got to make a crappy film out of someone elses misery, make a bundle and not even have the courtesty to bung the guy a few quid or even an "inspired by ..."
