The mass media gets a clue - finally. Corruption is destroying the US economy.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you're hearing all the TSA horror stories. Whether you believe procedures are there to protect us or are just a show, the reality is that they're going above and beyond the call of duty -- and not in a good way. To add yet another story about wasted manpower that would let real threats slip by, mother Stacey Armato tried to get home to Los Angeles and her 7-month-old son with the 12 ounces of breast milk she pumped while she was gone. She didn't want to put the breast milk through radiation, so she requested an alternate screening, which she had every right do to. But what happened is completely unjust. After repeated requests, she finally received a video of her horrible experience from TSA's security cameras ... well, except the parts they edited out first. http://thestir.cafemom.com/baby/113023/tsa_targets_breastfeeding_mother

A Miami man whose beating at the hands of police was captured on cell phone video has been charged with resisting arrest without violence, a charge his lawyer says came from nothing more than the man’s attempts to cover his head from the blows. Gilberto Matamoros, a 21-year-old youth center worker, says he was doing nothing wrong when police arrested him during a brawl in Miami’s Coconut Grove neighborhood on Halloween. According to his lawyer, Ricardo Martinez-Cid, Matamoros was picked out of an unruly crowd and beaten unconscious by two Miami police officers. He had to be taken to a nearby hospital. Cell phone footage of the incident shows a police officer hitting Matamoros five times on or near his head. Miami police launched an investigation into the two officers’ actions after the video appeared on local news stations last week. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/11/man-charged-covering-head-police-beating/
