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.

Supreme Court backs municipal land grabs
By Bill Mears CNN Washington Bureau

Government's authority to condemn land for public use traditionally has been used to eliminate slums or build highways, schools and other public works.

The High Cost of SOX Compliance

Perhaps the best evidence of this is a recent AMR Research survey, which found that companies expect to spend $5.8 billion to meet SOX requirements in 2005. 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.

At a security checkpoint recently at the Fort Lauderdale airport, Patti LuPone, the singer and actress, recalled, she was instructed to remove articles of clothing. "I took off my belt; I took off my clogs; I took off my leather jacket," she said. "But when the screener said, 'Now take off your shirt,' I hesitated. I said, 'But I'll be exposed.' " When she persisted in her complaints, she said, she was barred from her flight.
