Mice at the Airport? A Comedy of Errors!
Ah, the airport—where dreams take flight and, apparently, so do the mice! I mean, who doesn’t love a little extra company while you’re waiting for your delayed flight? But, according to a recent report from the police union Siulp, it seems our furry friends are becoming a bit too comfortable in the terminal. So, let’s dive into this delightful mess, shall we?
“The Presence of Mice” – More Than Just a Bad Joke
In a statement that sounds like it was lifted straight from a comedy sketch, Siulp has reached out to the masses, sounding alarm bells over—wait for it—mice. Yes, you heard me right, mice in and around the airport facility. Now, I don’t know about you, but if I’m about to step onto a metal tube flying at 30,000 feet, I’d prefer it to be rodent-free! The union’s report tells us that it’s not just nibbles of cheese these little critters are after; they might be gnawing on something far more serious—our trust in airport hygiene!
And while the reassurances echoed back in August have apparently done as much good as a chocolate teapot, Siulp is demanding action. They’re calling for immediate measures to address this “unhygienic emergency.” Because nothing says “welcome to our terminal” quite like spotting a mouse scuttling by with a boarding pass in its little paws!
Long Queues and Unresolved Issues
As if the long queues and ongoing inconveniences weren’t bad enough, the police personnel and airport staff are now caught in this pickle of a situation, forced to deal with both travellers’ frustrations AND the possibility of cheese-stealing rodents. It’s like a scene from a sitcom: “Hey officer, I’d like to report a rodent on the loose!” And there you have it—a whole new category of airport hazard!
Siulp’s comments suggest that “the management of the emergency appears unsustainable,” which technically means, “Guys, this is a disaster waiting to happen!” It’s not just a case of getting rid of a few mice; we’re talking about restoring confidence in a system where passengers ought to feel safe. At this rate, we might as well set up a mice watch and start handing out binoculars!
The Call for Action
Siulp is urging the airport and health authorities to shake a leg and ensure that the little critters are evicted pronto. They want targeted and structured interventions—this is not your average pest problem, folks! Not only are the workers affected, but travellers are understandably not too keen on sharing their check-in counters with the latest rodent arrivals. It honestly sounds like a bad punchline waiting to happen—“Why did the mouse go to the airport? Because there’s a cheese deal in the terminal!”
Wrapping It Up
So, what have we learned from this little debacle? Well, for starters, mice are taking the idea of “flying under the radar” to a whole new level. And, while I’ve been known to make a bad pun or two, this isn’t a laughing matter for those who work at or travel through the airport. The call for “immediate and concrete measures” is something we can all get behind. After all, we’d rather deal with turbulence than a possible “mice-mageddon”!
Let’s hope the airport authorities take action soon because, frankly, we don’t want our next trip to involve chasing away rodents instead of making our connecting flights. So, here’s to clean terminals and rodent-free travels! And remember, folks, if you see a mouse boarding a flight—do not hand it your sandwich!

“We have received disturbing reports regarding the possible presence of mice in and around the airport facility.” This was reported by the police union, Siulp, which once again returns to talk about the repercussions on police personnel and Marconi workers: “Unfortunately, the reassurances made in August and the timid interventions made have not resolved much and in the face of situations that present characteristics of predictability and programmability, the situation does not change” we read in the note “the long queues and inconveniences caused by work in progress are having a direct impact on colleagues on duty who are forced to intervene in a situation which is turning into a real order and public safety”.
“Presence of mice”
For the union “the management of the emergency appears unsustainable and needs to be addressed with targeted and structured interventions to protect the staff and the travelers themselves. Furthermore, we have received disturbing reports regarding the possible presence of mice inside and near the structure If this were confirmed, urgent action would be needed to avoid hygiene risks. This situation not only aggravates the difficulties already present, but also undermines passengers’ confidence in the services offered.”
Siulp therefore asks that “immediate and concrete measures be adopted to restore normality and guarantee a safe and dignified environment for all – that is – a timely intervention by the airport and health authorities to address the problems reported and improve working conditions but also of usability for travellers”.
