Selena Drexel told ABC's "Good Morning America" the family was returning home from a vacation earlier this month when their daughter Anna was selected for a pat-down.

Witch Says TSA Fired Her After Co-Worker Accused Her of Evil Hex
By Dana Chivvis - AOL NewsFormer Transportation Security Administration officer and practicing witch Carole A. Smith says she was fired from her job after co-worker Mary Bagnoli accused her of putting a hex on her car, MSNBC.com reports. Smith, a follower of the pagan religion Wicca, worked at New York's Albany International Airport, where she had a reputation for her skill in finding weapons hidden in luggage and in aiding with pat-downs. But in March 2009, Smith was investigated for a "threat of workplace violence," after Bagnoli said Smith scared her. Bagnoli said the witch had followed her after work one night ...
Alaska Lawmaker With Mastectomy Refuses TSA Pat-Down
By Dana Chivvis - AOL NewsAlaska state Rep. Sharon Cissna is returning to Juneau today by car, small plane and ferry, rather than by plane as scheduled, because she refused to be patted down by security workers Sunday at the Seattle airport.

She had undergone a mastectomy in the past, her chief of staff, Michelle Scannell, told The Associated Press. The 68-year-old lawmaker had been through a pat-down three ...
Legislation Would Make Sharing TSA's Body Scan Images a Crime
By Sharon Weinberger - AOL NewsProposed new legislation would protect travelers who worry that images taken of them by airport scanners could end up on the Internet. An amendment to the Federal Aviation Administration re-authorization bill would make it a crime to share images taken by the Transportation Security Administration's full-body scanners, which produce graphic images of the human body. Those found guilty of violating the Security Screening Confidential Data Privacy Act, legislation being co-sponsored by Democratic Sens. Charles Schumer of New York and Ben Nelson of Nebraska, could spend up to a year in prison ...
Donna D'Errico to Climb Mount Ararat in Search of Noah's Ark
By David Moye - AOL NewsFormer "Baywatch" star Donna D'Errico has enjoyed a pretty amazing career arc. But the 42-year-old actress, who recently turned down a spot on "Dancing With the Stars," is now focusing on Noah's ark. D'Errico, 42, is in training to fulfill a lifelong dream of climbing Mount Ararat in Turkey to search for the frozen remains of Noah's ark. According to Biblical legend, the ark was built centuries ago to protect Noah's family and two of every kind of animal during a flood lasting 40 days and 40 nights. After the great flood, the ark supposedly landed atop the mountain. Many believers have ...

Handy 'Mile High Kit' Provides Pleasure in the Skies
By Monica Garske - AOL NewsHaving sex on an airplane may sound risque, but getting your jollies in the skies doesn't have to be as wild as it seems. In fact, you can be downright discreet about it. That's the idea, at least, behind the Mile High Intimacy Kits created by Seattle-based entrepreneur Ted Youngs. The kits -- packaged in subtle, travel-ready boxes -- contain everything a jet-setter could ever want or need for a quickie, spur-of-the-moment tryst aboard an airplane. The main selling point is that the kits are so inconspicuous, no one would ever have to know your naughty intentions. At a glance, the boxes ...

Amazing Kreskin Predicts War on Terror Will End in 150 Years
By David Moye - AOL NewsFamed mentalist The Amazing Kreskin has some good news and some bad news. The good news? There will be an end to the current war on terror. Now the bad news: Nobody currently living on this planet will be alive to see it. The famed "mentalist" -- who disdains being called a "psychic" -- says the war on terror won't be over for at least 150 years and is basing his prediction on both intuition and history. "Anyone who is surprised by how long the war will last hasn't studied history," Kreskin told AOL News. "The longest-running wars are religious-based." Gene ...
Year in Review: 13 Most Memorable Political Quotes of 2010
By Carl M. Cannon - Politics DailyThe year now coming to a close was a rewarding one for collectors of political quotations. This is not the same thing as saying that most memorable lines of 2010 were uplifting. Many of the utterances that entered the lexicon were unrefined, simplistic or just plain mean. Women in the political arena were insulted and put upon, often by other women -- and sometimes by themselves. And the most inspiring campaign speech was given by a cable television comedian. It was that kind of year. Typically, many of the quotes we think we remember – "don't touch my junk," for example – were ...
