Philadelphia International Airport just became the latest airport to utilize Segway Personal Transporters, joining places like Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam (where HotelChatter editor Juliana Shallcross witnessed them on her field trip), and O'Hare in Chicago. PHL has purchased four Segways (at $5,000 a pop) for police to use to patrol and/or procure donuts more effectively. But there's only room for one on a Segway PT, so you won't be able to hitch a ride anytime soon.

Americans may never look as adorable on scooters as the Dutch, but you can witness a bit of the action at PHL here.
