TSA spikes in Google

via www.google.com

Videos much like this are surfacing all over youtube.com in reaction to the new TSA regulations. The video in no way points to my personal stance on the issue: I'm just here to give it to you. 

According to google trends the internet hasn't seen a spark in TSA interest since Jan. 4 2010 when a man caused a breach at NJ airport. The current spike is two times greater than that of Jan. 4 and four times greater than the average amount of traffic seen. 

I will be doing an interview with TSA operating officials here in Cincinnati, OH giving TSA the opportunity to speak out on my blog about the public's reactions.

Pope promotes condom usage

Pope Benedict XVI promotes the use of condoms for HIV prevention.

 The pope told the public last weekend condoms could be morally justified in some cases, such as with male prostitutes to prevent the spread of HIV. On Tuesday the Vatican went further touching on the pope's comments: they apply to women. 

Catholicism has never stood by the use of condoms or any other form of birth control until now.

Black Friday takes over Thanksgiving

The timeless tradition of Thanksgiving will be shadowed by Black Friday this year as stores will be open early day before turkey eating starts.

Sears opens up from 7 a.m. to noon on Thanksgiving Day for the first time. Sears isn't a lone wolf this pre-turkey eating frenzy will quickly become a new tradition to do on Thanksgiving Day instead of after.

When does it end with the madness. 

The Ipad is probably a must have for any blogger, journalist, or media news.

TSA pat down covers a man in his own urine

Michigan native Tom Sawyer, a bladder cancer survivor, went through a pat down by TSA security that popped his urine bag at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

Sawyer claims TSA security was rough and untrained. He says TSA ignored him when he brought up his medical condition and continued on. 

Sawyer was left in tears and public embarrassment when his urine bag was popped, spilling urine all over his chest. 

Rough and untrained, as expressed by Saywler,  was his reasoning for the popped bag.
