"Training", riiiiight. This looks like a sound lead. Not sure if it has any significance but I think the psych ward at UCLA they took Kanye to is named after Ronald Reagan.
Airports are always hotspots for trafficking. It would be normal for them to train their employees on how to spot traffickers, in the hope of preventing it.
That doesn't make it any less of a coincidence that the pizza place is right next to a trafficking hotspot.
I'd also like to say that I don't know what the advantage would be to using a small trail rather than a main road. Part of the point of using major airports in the first place is that with everything else going on, you're less likely to get noticed. Highly populated areas are safer than semi-remote areas.
Another note: If anyone is trafficking victims through an airport, they are probably only taking one or two victims at a time. They have to sit together on the plane, and bringing a whole squadron of girls through an airport with you would be something that would draw attention.
Good point about the one or two victims at a time.
I don't have any lead whatsoever that the trail is being used, but I imagine that if you want to avoid all the surveillance, even for a posteriori investigation, you'd be better off not taking the main airport roads. It could be a happy coincidence that the trail takes you from airport parking to a street two blocks away in a straight line to the pizza place
If only I lived in DC, I would have had a stake out already with some friends
