Consumerism is a hospitality-industry (e.g., Internet mail-order-bride), and this modern civilization traffic-customs vignette was inspired by The Terminal (Tom Hanks).

Travelers enjoyed the amenities of major airlines such as Air France and Qatar Airways. The nifty thing about these passenger-flights was that they offered in-flight cuisine (culturally-authentic) and in-flight movies (from Hollywood and elsewhere). The hospitality was integral to the airline company, since traffic was a modern consciousness.
American celebrities were found on Qatar Airways while filming unusual movies such as A Hologram for the King. These 'product-placement' images in cinema served as 'signposts' of virtual billboards on this new commercial/consumerism 'highway.' That's why terrorists targeted airplanes.
A celebrity such as Tom Hanks might be at a social event (e.g., the Oscars) with his wife and son, proudly celebrating the modern glitz/glamour of media and film and social gossip consciousness in general. Indeed, this was the trend in America since the Roaring Twenties, and the society-magazine Harper's Bazaar more-or-less bore/carried that intellectual 'torch.'
Hanks' son Chet decided to invest in a new domestic airline company in America called Mouse Airlines. This airline would have an airport in Chicago and serve all major cities and other destinations in America and a few in Canada and Mexico. Mouse Airlines would recruit some of the best pilots in America and well-trained professional stewardesses and chefs for the hospitality of the in-flight experience. Mouse Airlines would be the U.S. equivalent of India's domestic ornament, Indian Airlines.
Chet decided to use the comics-cartoon animalia-superhero Mighty Mouse as its 'borrowed mascot.' Mighty Mouse himself(!) would remind consumers of the amenities/advantages of modern travel and hospitality, and Chet asked President Trump himself to oversee some of the Homeland Security policies to ensure that Mouse Airlines did not become scarred by terrorists.
Chet asked youngsters to provide comic book renderings of what/who they thought would be an 'anti-American terrorist' destabilizing Mouse Airlines. The best rendering would be featured in Mouse Airlines ads in magazines. The winner was an Algerian-American 4th grade-student named Ajay Satan who made a color-pencil simplified rendering of the DC Comics super-villain Phantasm paired with an actual comic book art portrait of Phantasm (standing above his heroic nemesis Nightwing) in a sort of 'omen-collage.' Chet would use this 'Omen Phantasm Collage' for various Mouse Airlines magazine ads about the 'menace of terrorism' --- e.g., "Mouse Airlines cares about domestic-flight tranquility, not about the 'noise' of the anti-traffic terrorism of the nameless Phantasm. Our in-flight experience caters to kids and families; kids get water-color sets to make art during the flight...come fly with us!"
Mouse Airlines became so successful/popular that Mighty Mouse shirts were made by Harvey Comics for the employees/staff of Mouse Airlines to wear for various conditions/circumstances. Chet Hanks became the new Steve Jobs, and Mouse Airlines restored faith and idealism to capitalism and reduced the fear of domestic terrorism disrupting the everyday traffic of the USA. Chet himself would wear Mighty Mouse shirts to NBA games he attended with his celebrity-dad Tom Hanks.
Since the modern world was activity-based, everyone cared about the 'aesthetics' of resource-access, so website-designers were responsible for making trade and activity pleasing and convenient. Mouse Airlines was a consumerism symbol of American pride and ingenuity. Mouse Airlines shares soared on Wall Street, and now passenger flights offered On-Demand Disney films.
CHET: Mouse Airlines has become immensely successful...
CNN: Your dad (Tom) must be delighted!
CHET: Oh, yeah, he made three films featuring airplanes, ya know.
CNN: Sure --- Cast Away, The Terminal, and Sully!
CHET: Americans care about transit and transportation.
CNN: Are you a T-Mobile patron?
CHET: No, we endorse Sprint at Mouse Airlines, actually.
CNN: Wow; are you a fan of Harper's Bazaar?
CHET: One issue featured celebrity/actress Nicole Kidman dressed as a stewardess!
CNN: That outfit was designed by one of your Mouse Airlines stewardess-tailors?
CHET: Yes, it was, but that's actually a secret...
CNN: Are you scared about terrorism?
CHET: No more so than volcano eruptions and acid-rain...
