"Hassan Al Kontar is bored out of his mind. For more than a month, the
36-year-old Syrian national has been pacing the transit terminal of
Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia, unable to enter the
country or purchase a ticket to leave. Like Tom Hanks in “The Terminal,”
he is camped out in the departures lounge with a neck pillow and an
airplane blanket, while his homeland is wracked by war."
