With so much travel news flying around, we don't always have time to give every story big play. Here's more of the day's news, in brief.

· The Naked Skier: An unfortunate skier was photographed pants-less and dangling from a lift in Vail's Blue Sky Basin, inspiring hundreds of headlines involving lame puns. [The Smoking Gun]

· TSA Agent Gets Emotional on ABC: The God-awful premiere of "Homeland Security USA" wrapped with an teary interview with TSA agent Robert Collins, who doesn't mind getting choked up if it'll keep a little boy in a cowboy hat safe from your four-ounce tube of toothpaste, you jerk. [Gawker]

· Midwest Connect Beating Regular Midwest in Sales: The contractor that Midwest Airlines hired to fly regional jets on its behalf is now carrying more passengers out of Milwaukee than the original carrier, meaning you're probably not getting the "best care in the air," even though you paid for it. [Journal-Sentinel]

· Making Obama a Mixtape: Canada's CBC Radio is putting together a 49-track playlist for new best friend Barack Obama in hopes that he'll invite them to the prom. [WorldHum]
