Flying to #Portland#Maine today. We'll have to wait about 3.5h before our travel companions arrive. The rental car is in their name. Looking for suggestions for things to do with the time. I *think* we need to be back at the airport when they arrive so we can be added as drivers on the rental.

The interface also includes options to add more keywords and a button to "Save new filter." Red arrows point to various important elements in the interface, such as the filter contexts, filter action, and keyword section.
