Woman allegedly assaulted airport security worker

GREEN BAY, Wis. — A 62-year-old woman who was upset about being searched at an airport shoved a security screener and then grabbed her breasts, federal prosecutors said. The woman said she reacted in self-defense to "an absolute invasion of my body."
A jury began hearing evidence Monday in the trial of Phyllis Dintenfass, who was charged with assault of a federal employee. If convicted, the retired technology school teacher could face a year in prison and $100,000 in fines.

And while technology spending represents just 28% of the overall budget, it's increasing by the largest percentage -- up 43% from $1.13 billion in 2004 to $1.62 billion in 2005.
