Reported in Smart Meetings: TSA Agent Faces Theft Charge and worth sharing for happy couples going on their honeymoon or the everyday traveler.

A Transportation Security Administration agent at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York is accused of stealing cash from a customer. Police say Alexandra Schmid, 31, took $5,000 from a Bangladeshi passenger’s jacket as it went through X-ray screening. A surveillance video allegedly shows Schmid wrapping the money in a plastic glove and taking it to a bathroom. Police continue to investigate what happened to the cash. Schmid, who has worked for the agency for more than four years, has been suspended and charged with grand larceny.

Best Long-Distance Love Story

February 14, 2012 By Travel Messiah 1 Comment

In summer 1996, there was an AOL user named MyQDPi who was lurking in an AOL chat room one evening. Just as she was about to log off, an instant message popped up from a user named IMAFLIRT. “Uh oh,” thought MyQDPi. They chatted briefly that evening. That evening turned into four months of chats and e-mails until November 11, 1996, when IMAFLIRT (real name: John) called MyQDPi (real name: Beth) at her job and they heard each other’s voices for the first time. That led to another four months of phone calls, chats, and e-mails until they were brave enough to meet face-to-face on March 15, 1997.
