re: #630 Killgore Trout

Killgore, since we are all off topic now, I don’t mind tickling your mind with this, it’s in regards to LOST and your questions about the set up of the “return” to the Island. An interesting list…

815: Kate is brought onto the plane in handcuffs, with a law enforcement officer. 316: Sayid is brought on board with a law enforcement officer, and handcuffs under his coat.
