Maddison, I'm assigning this to you so you can go through and make sure you understand what is happening. Comment as it makes sense. Think about Javadoc standards (class, method comments)

The main can't receive messages and so it can't be told when it is safe to shut down the system. Actors should be able to close other actors that they hold a reference to, but I think we'll need to have the Controller be the one to close the system. I'm not sure if this is correct though.

This might solve all the problems with the mailboxes if it is sent after the controller is told to stop generating passengers...

Here is what I found:

Mailboxes enqueue messages - in order!

"You can also send an actor the akka.actor.PoisonPill message, which will stop the actor when the message is processed. PoisonPill is enqueued as ordinary messages and will be handled after messages that were already queued in the mailbox."

Thoughts?
