• TSA chief: Body-scan boycott could cause delays

  • Figures! It seems to always come down to making money. Pay for a ticket, to check luggage and to get a "free x-ray"! I know dogs are the answer. I live near a port of entry and at least once a week if not more, massive amounts of drugs are found in trucks, cars and on people, by dogs!

  • Sean, Although I am middle aged I'm not overweight. I eat right, work hard and I'm not depressed. I still do the things I love - hiking, taking my 2 large dogs for walks and caring for my family. I do some things that even people in their 20's don't do, like caving and rappelling for a rescue team.
