Singapore Changi Terminal 2

I've walked all the way to my departure terminal here in Singapore's beautiful Changi Terminal 2, and no AED (automated electronic defibrillator) in sight. I'm suprised. I'm going to ask the staff what's the deal. I see them all over convention centers and hotels, and suprised they're not more prominently displayed here.

Time is myocardium. Shocking someone out of a non-perfusing rhythm is one of the most effective emergency procedures available.
