In airport terminals, a baggage claim area is an area where arriving passengers claim checked-in baggage after disembarking from an airline flight. The alternative term baggage reclaim is used to mean the same thing at many airports outside the USA (e.g. Brussels Airport, Heathrow Airport, Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Schiphol Airport and so on).
A typical baggage claim area contains baggage carousels or conveyor systems that deliver checked baggage to the passenger. The baggage claim area generally contains the airline's customer service counter for claiming oversized baggage or to report missing baggage.
Some airports required that passengers display their baggage check receipt so that it can be positively matched against the bag they are trying to remove from baggage claim. This serves two purposes: first it reduces baggage theft, and secondly it helps to prevent passengers from accidentally leaving the airport with another passenger's bag that bears resemblance to their own.
Paula Maxine Patton (born December 5, 1975) is an American actress. She is known for her appearances in the films Idlewild (2006), Déjà Vu (2006), Mirrors (2008), Swing Vote (2008), Precious (2009), Just Wright (2010), Jumping the Broom (2011), and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011).
Patton was born in Los Angeles, California to Joyce (née Vanraden), a European American school teacher, and Charles Patton, an African American lawyer. She graduated from Hamilton High School, and then started college at UC Berkeley, transferring to USC Film School after her first year and graduating magna cum laude. Shortly after completing her studies, she won a three-month assignment making documentaries for PBS. Later she worked for the Discovery Health Channel as producer for the show Medical Diaries.
Her first acting role was a small part in 2005's Hitch, which starred Will Smith and Eva Mendes. She followed that with a small part in the drama London and appeared alongside OutKast members Andre Benjamin and Big Boi in Idlewild.
Reverend James Warren "Jim" Jones (May 13, 1931 – November 18, 1978) was the founder and leader of the Peoples Temple, which is best known for the November 18, 1978 mass suicide of 909 Temple members in Jonestown, Guyana along with the killings of five other people at a nearby airstrip. Over 200 children were murdered at Jonestown, almost all of whom were forcibly made to ingest cyanide by the elite Temple members.
Jones was born in Indiana and started the Temple in that state in the 1950s. Jones and the Temple later moved to California, and both gained notoriety with the move of the Temple's headquarters to San Francisco in the mid-1970s.
The incident in Guyana ranks among the largest mass suicides in history, though most likely it involved forced suicide and/or murder, and was the single greatest loss of American civilian life in a non-natural disaster until the events of September 11, 2001. Among the dead was Leo Ryan, who remains the only Congressman assassinated in the line of duty as a Congressman in the history of the United States.
Got some money
In my pocket
Got my ticket
In my hand
Ain't got time
To talk
Ain't got time
To explain
Ain't gonna ride
A Greyhound
Or a midnight train
I'm goin'
By jet propulsion
To the promise land
Gonna run down
Through the terminal
Jump over the chain
And make love
To my baby
In baggage claim
She called me up
This mornin'
Said she needed
To see me bad
She was Jonesin'
Real hard
For the love
She knew I had
Said
She woke up
Got some money in my pocket, got my ticket in my hand
Ain't got time to talk, ain't got time to explain
Ain't gonna ride a Greyhound or a midnight train
I'm goin' by jet propulsion to the promise land
Gonna run down through the terminal, jump over the chain
And make love to my baby in baggage claim
She called me up this mornin', said she needed to see me
She was Jonesin' real hard for the love she knew I had
Said she woke up sweatin'; from a dream she had last
night
Filled with sexual tension and no relief in sight
She was breathin'; hard and heavin'; like a coal-burnin'
train
She said, "Come to me baby before I go insane"
When I get to LAX, I betcha I'm ten-feet tall
Bullet proof and handsome, I'll be wall to wall
Arms around my baby give her all the love I had
We'll be steamin' up the windows in that yellow taxi cab
I got one more thing to do before I let that hammer fall
chorus
says i've been gone for way too long

and none of this happening when we're all visual

on the corners where we shut
niggers still talking about

and in the morning .
chorus

you can call ma chris brown cause i hit your bitch
..it was love at first sight when i saw her coming
..bullets in the fucking air meter
I have been dragging around
your sensitive ego
Making sure that your bags arrive on time
For the dog and pony show
a leather suit case like a brick
it kinda makes it hard to get a good grip
I drop your troubles off at the conveyor belt
I hand you a ticket to go get it your self
At the baggage claim
you got a lot of luggage in your name
When you hit the ground check the lost and found
cuz it aint my problem now I can't carry it all
I got a lot of troubles on my own
Its all over the yard and in the trunk of the car
I'm packing it in, so come and get it
If it aint obvious what has set me off today
behind every women scorned is a man
who made her that way
Go on and take your little business trip
with that sweet little habit that you can't kick
You better call your momma when ya get to town
cuz I aint gonna be hanging around
At the baggage claim
you got a lot of luggage in your name
When you hit the ground check the lost and found
cuz it aint my problem now I can't carry it all
I got a lot of troubles on my own
Its all over the yard and in the trunk of the car
I'm packing it in, so come and get it
come get it
Come and pick it up
before I blow it up in flames
you better pick it up
pick it up
Baby I mean everything
at the baggage claim
you got a lot of luggage in your name
When you hit the ground check the lost and found
cuz it aint my problem now I can't carry it all
I got a lot of troubles on my own
Its all over the yard and in the trunk of the car
