The episode wraps up with a musical mix by Sir Chris Wilson titled "Blame it on the Glitch," satirizing the media's tendency to use the word "glitch" to describe major systemic failures. The segment highlights various news clips where the term was used to downplay issues ranging from IRS computer crashes to denied military benefits.

Transit through London Heathrow Terminal 5 requires passengers to undergo a secondary security screening even when staying within the terminal. The experience is described as particularly unpleasant due to the perceived rudeness and chauvinism of the British security staff. Delays in baggage handling and the inefficiencies of pre-checked transit stickers are highlighted as common travel frustrations.

Nine activists from Black Lives Matter UK shut down London City Airport by chaining themselves together on a runway to protest the "climate change impact of air travel on black people." The group claims that white nations are responsible for global temperature changes that create millions of "climate refugees" in Africa. Critics suggest the organization is being used as a front for George Soros-funded environmental agendas.

Media reports focus on three British schoolgirls who traveled from Gatwick Airport to Istanbul, allegedly to join ISIS in Syria. Experts suggest that ISIS is increasingly attracting educated young women rather than just disaffected youth.

Following the failure of private security firm G4S to provide enough staff for the London Olympics, the UK has allowed U.S. TSA and FBI agents to operate on British soil. Adam Curry argues this is a move toward a "New World Order" where military and foreign agents become a permanent fixture on city streets.

A prediction is made regarding the danger of security "choke points" created by the TSA, where large crowds gather before screening. It is argued that these areas are more attractive targets for terrorists than the airplanes themselves. While the hosts doubt such attacks will occur in the U.S. due to a lack of actual terrorists, they suggest London is a more likely location.

Observations from a recent trip to the United Kingdom highlight a perceived atmosphere of depression and increased binge drinking in London. The report criticizes the lack of media analysis regarding Gordon Brown's Iraq inquiry testimony and the Phil Jones Climategate hearing.

A comparison of New York City area airports highlights Newark Liberty International as an undervalued and spacious option compared to LaGuardia.
