Your baby is da bomb
Woman puts infant grandson through TSA security screening machine at LAX. But was the diaper considered a liquid?

Late flight? Ka-ching!
Flying to Delhi? The local consumer commission has imposed new rules on airlines, requiring them to pay fines of 10,000 to 20,000 rupees (US$225 to $450, approximately) per passenger for delayed flights. The catch? The fine is only payable if the flight is delayed due to poor customer service, including “poor maintenance.” Regular maintenance, such as a plane requiring a new tire, doesn’t count. Something tells me there won’t be too many payouts…

The winner isn’t me
I was not the 100 millionth passenger to pass through a New York area airport yesterday. Shucks. The winner, a Taiwanese woman, “was lavished with flowers and gifts including airline tickets, gift certificates, a Tiffany crystal apple, passes to city museums, cookbooks, tickets to Broadway shows, hotel accommodations and tickets to a New York Mets game.” Umm, the Mets aren’t playing right now. Maybe the airline tickets she won can be used to fly back for a game. They might have also considered buying her a suitcase for the extra crap she won. And maybe they should pay her excess luggage fee, while we’re at it.
