Internet to Atlanta TSA Agents: Sorry About That!
Gosh it's hard to be objective, and no fun at all. On Friday, a travel blogger named Nicole White posted a harrowing account of being detained in Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport by TSA Agents. Entitled TSA Agents Took My Son, her post alleges, among other things, that a male TSA agent separated her from her 16-month-old son for a private pat-down, which is against TSA procedures. Christopher Elliott picked up the story on Elliott.org, and despite his sage counsel that we withhold judgment until all the facts come out, the commenting classes rose to the defense of White.

Even Ruth Madoff Gets the TSA Theater Blues
There's not a lot of sympathy to be found for anyone bearing the last name Madoff these days. Even though Bernie's stewing in a North Carolina prison, nothing can change the fact that so many folks (collectively) lost billions of dollars in his Ponzi scheme. We're sure the victims have played out many fantasies in their mind as to how they would harm Bernie and co. but there might be a just punishment that's not quite as gruesome.
The Madoff matriarch, Ruth Madoff, recently had to suffer an experience that we would wish only upon some of our worst enemies--a tortured go-round at the security checkpoint at La Guardia Airport in New York.
