Successful TSA Luggage Searches
Who says the TSA is totally lame at screening luggage? CBS/Philly reports that a 37-year-old TSA worker named Troy Davis used scanners to identify which bags had laptops in them so he could steal them, and a Sony Playstation.

Oh, and at the end of the article, there's this:

Davis is married with six children.

The guy is a TSA worker and he has SIX children? Now, maybe the guy's wife is a Wall Street high roller, and six mouths to feed (and take to the dentist and doctor) are no problem. What would your guess be?

Finally, if you'd like to know how to sneak a bomb on a plane, just ask an 8-year-old. In TIME, Bonnie Rochman writes:

"Mama," my young son informed me yesterday, "I know how you can sneak an explosive onto an airplane."

It was the kind of overconfident declarative that makes a parent sit up and take notice. I did both.

"You put it in the front of your underwear," continued Aviv, who turns 8 this week, "because they don't touch you there."

You know that show, "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?" Here's a twist: "Is Your 8-Year-Old Smarter Than A TSA Agent?" Of course, it's 8-year-olds trying to smuggle contraband through the TSA. (I'd bet on the 8-year-olds. You?)
