...perps. I don't mean the director, Betty Thomas, the Hill Street Blues actress who helmed one good movie (the Howard Stern Private Parts) before loading her résumé with the sort of dispiriting comedies (Doctor Dolittle, 28 Days, I Spy, John Tucker Must Die) that help give a bad name to the movies shown on airplanes. Instead, consider the stars who lend their voices to the Chipettes: Christina Applegate, Amy Poehler and Anna Faris, smart comediennes all. As for the movie's writers - Jon Vitti, Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger - they've spent a decade...
...five years after the bipartisan 9/11 commission recommended that Congress and the Transportation Security Agency "give priority attention" to screening passengers for explosives, the practice remains overwhelmingly the exception and not the rule. Only about 40 millimeter-wave devices are in use, at 19 U.S. airports.

"As soon as concern arose, very recently, his parents reported it and sought help." But while the family chose not to speak to the media, Alfred and other friends were willing to provide some information...
...worried about what may happen to him or what trouble he could get himself into. Even during the last Boko Haram crisis we were all very worried that he may have been involved, but thank God he was not. He is a bit reserved and we thought we should give him some space. He is a young man and we were apprehensive he could be easily influenced." Still, said the source, "we were all shocked to hear that he attempted to blow up a plane...
