 Eros Airport Will Finally be Closed   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Eros Airport is a mere ten-minutes drive from Windhoek’s Central Business District (CBD), while the Hosea Kutako International Airport is situated some 40 kilometres east of the capital city.
Some of the reasons cited for the closure of the airport to international flights were that the airport poses a safety hazard, given its proximity to mountains, which are not illuminated at night.
The airport’s proximity to residential areas was also cited as a contributor to noise polution.

 'Airport' by Harold Jaffe
If your colon falls under suspicion and you're ordered to prepare for examination by sigmoidoscope, you are instructed not to curse or swear, because under the post-9-11 edicts the use of profane language in US airports constitutes another form of terrorism and as such is subject to the stringencies of the law.
Airports have become what the logic of late corporate capitalism dictates they be: anesthetized, hyperreal global villages where the traveler talks into his cell or posts an email while watching the TV monitors; or sits on the floor, chews gum and plays video games; or trolls through endless-seeming corridors of airport boutiques.
Meanwhile the airport recording repeats, repeats, repeats the peril of leaving baggage unattended, lest some intense-eyed swarthy slip a plastique under your fastidiously folded Lacoste polo.
