SIX SEWING NEEDLES FOUND IN BEIJING BABY

Doctors in Beijing, China are planning to perform surgery on a 1-year-old boy who has 6 sewing needles embedded inside the boy's body. The Beijing Youth Daily ran color photos of an X-ray showing 5 of the 6 needles in the boy's torso and the Beijing Morning Post printed close-ups of the X-ray and another that showed the 6th needle where it had been pushed through the child's head. Doctors say they need to perform the surgery as soon as possible, but they can't guarantee that they can remove all the needles. The child has 2 needles in his chest, 2 in his scrotum, one in his abdomen, and 1 in his head. The parents claim that no strangers have come in contact with the child.

GODLESS DOLLARS

Well the U.S. Mint has struck again.....or well not struck. The new dollar coins featuring John Adams are missing some inscriptions, namely the "In God We Trust." People have found hundreds of the Adams dollar coins without the inscription. In March, the U.S. Mint had a similar problem with the George Washington dollar coins. Many of those coins were missing the "In God We Trust, E Pluribus Unum", and the year and mint mark.
Missing words are not the only problem with the Adams coins...some have been double struck. These coins will probably "mint" a pretty penny in the long run for their oddity.

HAS AIRPORT SECURITY GONE TOO FAR?

The TSA is denying claims that airport screeners have gone too far. Sources claim that screeners seizedd a toddler's sippy cup and mistreated his mother. Camera footage gives you an idea of what happened but is still slightly unclear. TSA argues that the footage shows the officers acting with "professionalism and concern for all passengers."
The issue is whether or not Monica Emmerson, a former Secret Service officer, was improperly detained after spilling water out of her child's sippy cup at Washington's Reagan National Airport. Emmerson claims "I was distraught. I opened my son's sippy cup. I twisted off the top. I wanted to drink the water. It spilled out." Emmerson said an officer threatened arrest when she spilled the water, claiming she was "endangering the public."

- I think airport security has gone too far. I thought our right were outlined that we are innocent until proven guilty. At the airport they make you feel like you are a criminal, even when you are innocent.
