Dulles is adding a terminal where you park at your own entrance, clear a private security line, wait in a suite and get driven across the airfield to your plane. Any traveler on any airline can use it, if they pay. Fairfax County, meanwhile, is arguing over the license plate cameras on its roads. We cover both, and Graham asks whether Northern Virginia is becoming a place where people who pay get past everyone else.

Supervisor Walter Alcorn told a Board of Supervisors committee on Oct. 20 that he would vote to end the county's contract with Flock Safety. Kathy walks through what the county runs: 84 police Flock cameras, about 120 private cameras police can search, more than 700 readers on cruisers, and a 21-day limit on keeping the data. Police credit plate readers with more than 570 recovered stolen cars and 60 missing people found since 2022. The Town of Herndon runs 10 Flock cameras of its own, so a county vote would not reach them. We also pull up the DeFlock map of plate readers around Reston and Herndon.

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority expects the Dulles VIP terminal to open in early 2029 and has not announced a price. We look at what Miami's private terminal charges ($1,295 a person for the shared lounge, $4,950 for a private suite) and connect it to the express lanes and toll roads drivers already pay to skip traffic.

Before the big stories: the Historic Herndon Halloween House on Spring Street, Voodoo Brewing opening near the Innovation Center Metro station, a sign permit for Grazie Nonna at RTC Next, proposed bike lanes on Glade Drive and Bowman Towne Drive, and the calendar through Nov. 14.
