Searching for Edward Snowden in Moscow’s Terminal E

Some suggest he may be in a little-known international transit zone at the airport Novotel where guests without Russian visas are forced to remain in their rooms and let out only for an occasional walk down the hotel corridor.
Others offer the possibility that Mr Putin may have a very expansive definition of what the transit zone is and that he may have ended up in another Moscow hotel guarded by special migration officers, or have made it to a foreign embassy. ** this is my theory, the Venezuelan or Ecuadoran Embassy
The most conspiratorial suggestion is that the leaker responsible for disclosing the NSA’s vast internet and phone surveillance programmes is in a secret police or Russian security service-controlled area of Sheremetyevo.
Inside the airport’s Terminals D, E, and F on Thursday night, employees and travellers had their own theories on the leaker’s deed and fate.

It's been nearly a week since Edward Snowden arrived at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport, but the many journalists camped there have yet to catch a glimpse of him. Reporters have, however, learned a lot about the layout of the airport's international transit zone, where the now passport-less NSA leaker is believed to be stuck as the Ecuadorian government decides whether or not to allow him to stay in their country, and they've developed a few theories about where exactly he is.
Terminal E is home to the V-Express (pictured below), a less-than-glamorous "capsule hotel" that offers "cruise-ship style beds with clean towels and a standalone shower" to passengers on layover. V-Express workers won't say if they've seen Snowden, though one told a Financial Times reporter that business has been bolstered by journalists, who presumably have not spotted him there. (An employee of one of the airport's coffee shops wondered if Snowden had checked into the V-Express only to have his visit cut short. "Would it be possible to shoot someone inside the capsule hotel?" she asked a colleague, who responded, "Possible.) TripAdvisor reviewers have praised the location, if nothing else.
Sheremetyevo has another hotel that might suit Snowden's needs: The Novotel Hotel, which serves travelers with longer layovers in Russia who lack Russian visas. According to ABC News, customers are "whisked away from the transit area" upon arrival and "put on a special van, and driven out of the airport by a special gate off the tarmac" to The Novotel. "There, they are kept in a special wing on the second floor under constant watch by Russian guards. They are confined to their rooms, except when they have to change money, but a guard comes with them for that as well. The only option for food is pricey room service." The TripAdvisor reviews are mixed, to say the least, but the place does have international television channels and Wi-Fi, which we know Snowden would appreciate. Reporters who have visited The Novotel have been unable to enter the aforementioned special wing.
There's also Terminal A, which is only accessible to Russian government and security officials. (There are no TripAdvisor reviews of Terminal A.) President Vladimir Putin, who has so far declined to send Snowden back to the United States, has said that Snowden is not in government custody, but some have "conspiratorially" suggested that he could still be in the locked-down terminal. Still others suggested to the FT "that Mr Putin may have a very expansive definition of what the transit zone is and that he may have ended up in another Moscow hotel guarded by special migration officers, or have made it to a foreign embassy," though the latter seems like something the public would have heard about by now.

You can check out any time you like... 
He did make the Eagles less countrified though. Which was a good thing. 
I saw the Allmans at Miami Jai Alai Fronton and Gregg Allman solo at University of Florida gym.
My first concert (13 yrs old) was Ten Years After (again at the Jai Alai fronton). I went w/ my friend and this older dude who drove the bus at our YMCA day camp. My parents had no idea where I was. LOL People kept passing us joints and we kept hurriedly passing them on. Like being in the middle of the table at a busy, crowded Thanksgiving. I remember some friendly hippy freak guy yelling "hey shorts" when we passed by. I didn't know if he was referring to our relatively small stature or length of hair. Good times!
Oh, Eddie, you are so lost...
