MINNEAPOLIS - Dozens of unattended taxi cabs, some with the keys left in them, were found at a convenience store just yards from the runway at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

Airport officals got tips from some cab drivers concerned that cars were being left unattended Sunday night. In all, 38 vehiciles were towed from the parking lot of SuperAmerica, a store near the airport fence and right next to tens of thousands of gallons of jet fuel.

Sounds like the cab drivers received the CAIR talking points memo.
