Famous people seen (or even met) whilst flying or lounging

Pauline Hanson back in August flying Cattle Class to Senate School on Virgin caused quite a stir. The media were there at CBR. I had to refrain from asking her noting her views on Halal, which allows the consumption of crustaceans and camels, we should go back to following Leviticus word for word, for pork is an abomination that Jesus would not have tolerated.
 
I used to work security at the airport so slightly OT but in the vain of the topic.

in my job I meet heaps of famous people some of the more memorable ones were:

John Wood - he came through with his gold logie in his bag. Really nice guy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wood_(Australian_actor)

Marcia Cross- She came through the staff screening point and spent about 20 mins talking to the staff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcia_Cross

Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) - Had no idea who he was so I picked him for ETD. He came through the public screening point. Only found out later that I had bomb tested Harry Potter! Didn't complain was a great bloke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Radcliffe

Also have meet some of the Saudi Royal family and got to have a look around there BBJ when they landed at AYQ.
 
Jeremy Renner in the LAX DL lounge. I didn't realise until I spotted people ogling in my direction so I turned around and he was immediately behind me.

James Spader of Boston Legal/Blacklist fame sat next to me in the ORD AA lounge. He seemed to relax after realising I was going to leave him alone, and then I said hello as I was leaving about 30 minutes later. He was incredibly pleasant to staff.

Saw Neil Perry watching the lunch crowd at David Jones Food Hall buying his new sandwiches. Mrscove went for the lamb chops rather than his deal. The crowd was large for the $10 to about $14 fare so we stayed at the grill instead.

Thanks GPH.

I actually googled Nathan Sharp (without the 'e') Got some guy who was fifth runner-up at American Idol 5 years ago or something along those lines anyway. Was thinking Blackbird might be code for a plane? (which it is)

Aaaaah , you have to forgive me, my mind wanders at times ;)
