NORM MINETA’S MINIONS ARE HARD AT WORK
Unbelievable: Maryland Teacher Faces Possible $10,000 Fine For Bookmark
Kathryn Harrington, 52, of Laurel, Md., was flying home from vacation last month when airport screeners found her bookmark.
They thought the 8?-inch leather strap, with small lead weights at each end, resembled a weapon that could be used to knock people unconscious.
Airport police charged the teacher with carrying a concealed weapon. She was handcuffed and put into a police car.
The AP story reports that Harrington will probably not face a possible $10,000 TSA fine, but I have a source who indicates otherwise. More as it develops…
Correction (5:55 pm): I erred. Mineta is Secretary of Transportation, of course, not head of the TSA.
