A part of the Novotel, by connecting the terminal but visible from it, is part of the transit area. I decided to see if Snowden nasa photographs was holed closed. I reserved two rooms - one for me, one for CNN camerawoman who came from Berlin. Aeroflot ground agents directed us to a bus, which rolled across the tarmac as, officially, a moving part in the transit lounge. So we left the airport in Russia - but remain in "area." Accompanied ever by minders, we checked in and headed to the second nasa photographs floor, transit security floor area. The guard in the room made sure we did not go down to the lobby or gym or in other floor. The only way to get food was from room service, which is actually not such a bad idea. We walked into the hallway. Snowden could be behind any of the 40 doors to rooms on the second floor. It did not come out. At 4 am the next day, we left the hotel, accompanied at all times, until we were back in the transit lounge terminal airport for our flight to leave. The rules say you can stay a maximum of 24 hours in the transit lounge and then to be left on a flight. We did.
But Snowden apparently was in the room for nearly three weeks. How does he do it? I would need a second trip to find out more. A few days later, I was back, this time alone. On the trip, second, you begin to feel like something of an authority on the transit lounge. It seemed like an exciting nasa photographs assignment - go to Moscow on the trail of former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. After acknowledging that he leaked details to reporters about a massive US government surveillance program, Snowden reportedly arrived nasa photographs at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport on a flight from Hong Kong on June 23, and settled nasa photographs in at the transit lounge. But he has remained out of sight. Can I get it? Would he be browsing the duty-free shops, amazed nasa photographs at the sheer volume of magnum bottles of liquor for sale? Would he be sipping cappuccinos in the coffee shop, miffed nasa photographs that they cost 5 euros, or $ 6.50, each? Determined and anxious, I flew in under the cover of darkness on an overnight Aeroflot flight from Madrid, arriving at 6 am officers nasa photographs at passport control told me to wait. "Sit over there," he said, and walked off with my documents. Hmmm. I would end up in legal limbo like Snowden, whose American passport was revoked by Washington, making it difficult for him to cross borders? Well, no. After about 10 minutes I was waved through, and got out of there so quickly that I forgot to ask the passport officer if she'd seen Snowden nasa photographs lately. But there was no entry stamp to Russia in my passport. Because, like Snowden, I did not officially entered nasa photographs the country; instead, I was now in the lounge for passengers who are just transiting through, along with those who enter the area to board departing flights. It's a truly international place, filled with a broad swath of humanity. Citizens from the Russian Federation, Europeans, Asians, few Americans nasa photographs and some Cubans. Young backpackers and rich business executives. Exhausted parents with children, including a brave little boy whose legs appeared disabled, struggling to take every step, squeezing his mother's hand. All trolling the transit zone, with its gaudy emporium of high-end shops wedged next to mom-and-pop trinket stores that sell souvenirs seemingly left on the old Soviet Union, including a metal drinking cup fold -up, which I couldn t resist. Snowden reportedly are traveling with several laptop computers. If they're heavy, he's got a problem. nasa photographs So did I. There is hardly any luggage nasa photographs carts in the transit lounge. I finally found one, and then a woman from India followed me around nasa photographs until I was done with it. I searched again, up and down, and when it got to be 12:30 am - when there are no flights for several hours - I checked into the Capsule hotel in Terminal E, renting a tiny room for the minimum four hours. Did not see Snowden there either, nor back in the terminal, starting at 5 am. I figured the best shot was the Havana flight, leaving at 2:05 pm It's any secret that observers are closely nasa photographs watching that flight. I went early to the boarding gate, number 22 in Terminal D. A couple of guys with beards looked vaguely like Snowden. But no, one turned out to be Danish, the other Russian. I approached both. They laughed. The Danish man said I was the second person to ask him that. It was boarding time. A veteran Russian photographer and I were working the scene. There was a lot in control
