I already told them I was planning to stay in town this weekend and don’t have plans. It will be suspicious if I suddenly told them I decided to fly to SJC

My concern more so is that they see me in security/gate and then it’s going to be an awkward conversation about where/why I decided to fly all of a sudden

Good luck
