My friendly and knowlegable Korean wife confirms Mcgrude's guess: it is in fact a how-to guide for (creepy) guys to get the best view, both in angle and distance.

Anechoic: "If only all airports were as nice as Schiphol!"

Schiphol wants 6 Euro for 30 minutes of wifi, or 10 Euro for 24 hours. You really need to want to check your e-mail at that rate.
