Airport Screeners Accused of Stealing from Luggage By Cheryl Chodun Web Produced by Jenny DiDomenico April 28, 2004 Four government workers were charged Wednesday with stealing expensive laptop computers and digital cameras from luggage they were hired to screen at Detroit Metro Airport in Romulus. Investigators say the workers had easy access to the luggage because they are screeners for the Transportation Security Administration. According to the federal indictment, the thefts happened between December and February of 2003. According to investigators, the suspects were allegedly taking the items from luggage and selling them, sometimes to other baggage screeners. Travelers are...

March 17, 2004 Statement by Bush-Cheney ‘04 Campaign Chairman Governor Marc Racicot ARLINGTON, VA --“Yesterday on a conference call arranged by Sen. Kerry’s campaign, former Gov. Howard Dean blamed the deaths in Spain on President Bush and the War on Terror. The attacks were caused by a global terror network that not only struck Spain, but also killed in the United States, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Bali. If Senator Kerry understands the nature of this threat and the need to take on terror, then he should immediately repudiate these troubling comments, and stop all efforts on behalf of his surrogates...

<p>WASHINGTON (AP) - The Whitehouse.com Web site, one of the best examples that the Internet isn't always what it seems, is getting out of the pornography business. Its owner says he's worried what his preschool-age son might think.</p> <p>"He'll be going to kindergarten next year,'' said Daniel Parisi, who started the Web site in 1997 that is frequently confused with the official government site, www.whitehouse.gov. Parisi, 44, said he worried that his son's classmates might taunt him about the family's business.</p>

An act of charity sticks in craw An advocate for the homeless plans to protest how a free Thanksgiving meal was organized by Without Walls church. By BRADY DENNIS, Times Staff Writer Published December 17, 2003 On Thanksgiving Day, rather than bite the hand that had offered to feed them, dozens of homeless, disabled and mentally ill people in St. Petersburg passed up the free grub altogether. Their gripe: They said they had been promised a 9 a.m. meal at Carrabba's, a well-known Italian grill, on Fourth Street N. But upon learning that a traditional Thanksgiving meal would be brought...

MIDI - DO YOUR EARS HANG LOW Michael Jackson is weird...it is not a little flaw As perverted as that guy who had come from Arkansas One had used cigars as toys...the other plays with little boys They both are really low One had lied to the nation until we found the dress Now the other one has found he is in a legal mess One had used cigars as toys...the other plays with little boys They both are really low One had Lisa Marie but that ran into a glitch While the other is still stuck with the...

In an effort to improve its corporate reputation, adware company Gator has launched a legal offensive to divorce its name from the hated term "spyware"--and so far its strategy is paying off. In response to a libel lawsuit, an antispyware company has settled with Gator and pulled Web pages critical of the company, its practices and its software. And other spyware foes are getting the message. "There is this feeling out there that they won the lawsuit, and people are starting to get scared," said one employee of a spyware-removal company, who asked not to be named. "We haven't been...

A few weeks ago, the Bush-hating Ellen RATner clearly showed her anti-Bush, anti-Americanism on television. She actually said that she hopes Bush "messes up" the war. Why? Because she doesn't want him re-elected. She admitted that was the reason. Of course, RATner backtracked, but she had come out of the closet. Her apology was disingenuous. Given the choice, I am quite sure that she would want Bush to "mess up" the war. American soldiers would die, but that would not bother her. After all, Bush would lose the next election. That is her only concern. The worst nightmare for the...

I was thinking about this yesterday and say another FR thread about anger at Ron Kuby in New York. Will the legal eagles of FR please check in with opinions. Does a large protest require a permit as a parade so requires? If so, someone has taken on respsibility. Whoever protests is causing a cost to the taxpayers for increased policing. Who is paying for that? If a business suffers property damage or loss of business because of the actions of protestors, who is responsible? It seems to me there might be grounds for a multitude of suits. Any ideas?

What the DemocRATs did not expect was a Republican controlled Senate so now they are refusing to vote...

Fraud a Part of Demos' Senate Strategy? 2002-10-31 BY THEIR nature political campaigns are not for faint of heart. It ain't beanbag, as they say. Even so, what Democrats are doing in a handful of pivotal races for the U.S. Senate is outrageous, because the central strategy seems to take aim at integrity of the electoral process itself. Let's start with New Jersey, where incumbent Democratic Sen. Robert Torricelli grappled all year with ethics problems before deciding -- in the shadow of daunting poll numbers -- that he couldn't beat challenger Douglas Forrester and abruptly dropped out of the race....
